Great book about a young girl who is pulled out of school by her father and later, after many trials, becomes a nurse for a "colored doctor" who does abortions along with his regular medical pracice. He his very active in politics and helps many of the local blacks get an education, sports team, builds a colored "Y". He is a very elegant man, who dresses well and has a big car and chauffeur. The characters are deeply explored and the writing is really good too. Definitely one to pass around to your girlfriends.
