Sowing and Reaping
John Anderson and Paul Clifford may be friends, but their moral and religious outlooks-uniquely influenced by their identities as businessman-tend to differ, especially where temperance is concerned. Paul, whose father died an alcoholic, opposes drinking, while John, who hopes to open a saloon, is himself a joyful imbiber. Sowing and Reaping is a novel by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

Über den Autor
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was an African American abolitionist, suffragist, poet, and novelist. Born free in Baltimore, Maryland, Harper became one of the first women of color to publish in the United States when her debut poetry collection Forest Leaves appeared in 1845. In 1850, she began to teach sewing at Union Seminary in Columbus, Ohio. The following year, alongside chairman of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society William Still, she began working as an abolitionist in earnest, helping slaves escape to Canada along the Underground Railroad. In 1854, having established herself as a prominent public speaker and political activist, Harper published Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects, a resounding critical and commercial success. Over the course of her life, Harper founded and participated in several progressive organizations, including the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the National Association of Colored Women. At the age of sixty-seven, Harper published Iola Leroy, or Shadows Uplifted, becoming one of the first African American women to publish a novel.
