Sa prose offre un aperçu profond des aspirations sociales et politiques de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle.
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the narrative follows Lemuel Dalton as he seizes control of his family's estate, leading to a violent confrontation with Samuel, an ex-slave.

Newlyweds Morlene and Harry navigate their new life, but Morlene's encounter with activist Dorlan stirs doubts about her marriage. Engaging with themes of race, violence, and social justice, this novel highlights Griggs' significance in African American literature.
