Two Daughters Of One Race is a novel written by W. Heimburg and published in 1889. The story revolves around two sisters, one white and one black, who are born to the same father but different mothers. The white sister, Edith, is raised in a wealthy household and enjoys a privileged life, while the black sister, Lina, is raised in poverty and struggles to make ends meet. Despite their different upbringings, the sisters are close and love each other deeply.As they grow up, Edith falls in love with a white man named Arthur, while Lina falls in love with a black man named Tom. However, their relationships are met with disapproval from society due to the racial divide of the time. Edith and Arthur face opposition from his family, who do not want him to marry a woman of mixed race, while Lina and Tom face discrimination from both black and white communities.The novel explores themes of race, love, and family, and highlights the injustices and prejudices faced by people of color during this time period. It also portrays the strength of familial bonds and the power of love to overcome societal barriers.Overall, Two Daughters Of One Race is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that sheds light on the complexities of race relations in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
