Description
Book SynopsisSarah Louise Delany, born September 1889, was a calm, gentle child her family called ""Sweet Sadie."" Her little sister, Annie Elizabeth, was just the opposite—so bossy that she was called ""Queen Bess."" This is the story of the childhood of these two fascinating women who grew up in a time of change when life was often not easy for African Americans.
