The road to success is pavement with hardship

Jessie Redmon Fauset, as well as being the editor of Crisis Magazine and discovering Langston Hughes, was a wonderful author. This particular novel is about an ambitious young lady who would not let anything get in the way of obtaining her dreams including love. Excellent characters, a good plot and an interesting perceptive view on the struggles of young African Americans in the 20's and 30's. This novel is highly recommended for an enlightening heart warming read.
