Excerpt from Rachel: A Play in Three Acts
The scene is a room scrupulously neat and clean and plainly furnished. The walls are painted green, the woodwork, white. In the rear at the left an open doorway leads into a hall. Its bare, green wall and white baseboard are all that can be seen of it. It leads into the other rooms of the flat. In the centre of the rear wall of the room is a window. It is shut. The white sash curtains are pushed to right and left as far as they will go. The green shade is rolled up to the top. Through the window can be seen the red bricks of a house wall, and the tops of a couple of trees moving now and then in the wind. Within the window, and just below the sill, is a shelf upon which are a few potted plants. Between the window and the door is a bookcase full of books and above it, hanging on the wall, a simply framed, inexpensive copy of Millet's "The Reapers." There is a run extending from the right center to just below the right upper entrance. It is the vestibule of the flat. Its open doorway faces the left wall. In the right wall near the front is another window. Here the sash curtains are drawn together and the green shade is partly lowered. The window is up from the bottom. Through it street noises can be heard. In front of this window is an open, threaded sewing-machine. Some frail, white fabric is lying upon it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of an African American family in the early 20th century. Through the lens of their everyday experiences, the author explores themes of love, loss, resilience, and the enduring impact of racial prejudice. Set in a modest apartment in a northern city, the story unfolds against the backdrop of a society grappling with racial inequality. We meet Mrs. Loving, a strong-willed widow raising her two children, Rachel and Tom, with unwavering love and determination. Their lives are filled with both joy and hardship, as they navigate the challenges of poverty and discrimination. The arrival of a young boy named Jimmy into their lives stirs up powerful emotions and unearths a painful past. As the narrative progresses, the author delves into the complexities of motherhood, the weight of history, and the enduring hope for a better future. Ultimately, this book invites us to confront the realities of racial injustice while celebrating the strength and dignity of the human spirit. It is a testament to the power of love and the enduring belief in the possibility of change.
