- Synopsis
- Born in the Deep South of educated but very poor parents, Helen Caldwell Day learned at an early age what it was like to be a Negro living in American society. A career in nursing, which she began at 18 years, afforded the first opportunity to meet white people as equals and develop friendships among them. Conversion to Catholicism broadened this opportunity and awakened her to a realization of the common strengths and weaknesses of all races. An unsuccessful marriage, motherhood and, finally, a long siege in a sanitarium with tuberculosis followed. Mrs. Day is convinced that the problems of race could be solved if Christian principles were understood and applied to daily living. This story of her first twenty-three years, written while she was in the sanitarium, is not so much one of achievement as an attempt to foster these principles.
