Sappho Clark—beautiful, mysterious, Southern—arrives in Boston
to earn her living as a stenographer. She lodges with the Smith
family and immediately becomes a source of fascination to the them:
Ma Smith is impressed by Sappho’s financial independence; Dora
Smith admires Sappho’s quiet self-possession; and Will Smith,
Dora’s brother, falls madly in love with Sappho. But as Sappho
enters the Smiths’ community, it becomes clear that her beauty is
a lure to bad actors, including someone who entertains dark
suspicions about her past. . . Â A murder mystery, the story
of a friendship, and a romance set in Boston’s thriving,
politically active middle-class Black community, Contending Forces
is an unjustly forgotten American classic. Â Â
