Abstract

This novella covers the life of Abeba Williams Torch from her childhood in North Carolina to her death at a fairly young age in Harlem. The potential for a fully realized novel is everywhere in this book, but because the author chose not to include the detail which would make it so, the effect is unsatisfying.
