A Thing Apart

A Thing Apart is a novel written by Lucy Stone Terrill and first published in 1921. The story is set in the rural South during the aftermath of the Civil War and explores the complex relationships between African Americans and whites. The protagonist, a young black man named Jubal, struggles to find his place in a society that is deeply divided by race and class.

The novel is a powerful commentary on the legacy of slavery and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in America. Through vivid descriptions of life in the Jim Crow South, Terrill offers readers a poignant and thought-provoking portrait of a society in transition.
