The article presents information on the book "Scarlet Sister Mary," by Julia Peterkin. Si May-E is a rather beautiful portrait of natural woman overcoming the obstacles in the way of her expression of the life within her. The physical existence of the colorful community Peterkin shows the living in the Quarters on a South Carolina plantation in the cabins of their slave grandfathers is simple and natural enough, but its customs, as in the case of primitive people generally, are elaborately evolved.
