The first full biography of Julis Peterkin, a brilliant, enigmatic woman who defied convention, lived as she pleased, and wrote what she knew. A plantation mistress who vowed to "write what is, even if it is unpleasant," Peterkin revolutionized American literature by writing seriously about the lives of plain black farming people.
