Leonora of the Yawmish is a novel written by Francis Dana. The book is set in the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th century and tells the story of Leonora, a young woman who is half Native American and half European. Leonora is raised by her Yawmish mother and grandmother, but after her mother's death, she is sent to live with her father's family in Seattle.As Leonora navigates her new life in the city, she struggles to reconcile her two identities and find her place in the world. She is torn between the traditional ways of her Yawmish heritage and the modern lifestyle of her European relatives. Leonora's journey is further complicated by the racism and discrimination she faces as a mixed-race woman in a society that values whiteness above all else.Throughout the novel, Leonora grapples with questions of identity, belonging, and the meaning of family. She must confront the painful truths of her past and the challenges of her present in order to forge a path forward.Dana's writing is vivid and evocative, transporting readers to the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest and immersing them in Leonora's world. The novel is a powerful exploration of race, culture, and identity that will resonate with readers of all backgrounds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
