Megda (1891)

I have read "Medga" five times, and each time it is like reading it anew. I always believed the writer was black, but now, I'm not so sure. Many of the areas of content in the book pointed to both black and white characters whom find themselves drawn to God away from the pleasures of the world. I have been greatly influenced by this author who published this novel more than a hundred years ago, and her writings, though plotted in the late 1800's, are based on the condition that this country is in today. I am looking forward to reading her second book "Four Girls at Cottage City" next. I own the book.
