A Devil and a Good Woman, Too is the award-winning biography of a
remarkably talented, enigmatic southern woman whose fiction about
rural African Americans drew on her own emotional traumas and
family scandals. A white plantation mistress who vowed to ""write
what is, even if it is unpleasant,"" Julia Peterkin produced five
books that revolutionized American literature, including the
Pulitzer Prize - winning novel ""Scarlet Sister Mary"". In the
1920s, Peterkin wrote stark, powerful stories that earned the
praise of W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Carl Sandburg, and H.
L. Mencken. But for reasons explored in this biography, she chose
to stop writing at the height of a brilliant career and retreat to
a provincial life rather than follow her characters as they moved
away from the plantation.
