About This Book
The Harlem Renaissance sociologist explores early-twentieth-century attitudes toward race in this tale of romance, politics, and justice.
Matthew Towns is a hardworking medical student with dreams of becoming an obstetrician, but his race prevents him from completing his required courses at a white hospital. Frustrated with America, he exiles himself to Germany.
In Berlin, he meets the daughter of a maharaja, Princess Kautilya, of Bwodpur, India.

Soon the love between Matthew and Kautilya is undeniable, but their struggles in a whites-only world threaten to tear them apart...
