Bag om Like Unto Like

Like Unto Like is a novel written by Sherwood Bonner and first published in 1878. The story is set in the American South during the Reconstruction era and follows the lives of two women, one white and one black, who are both struggling to find their place in a rapidly changing society. The white protagonist, Grace Sherwood, is a young woman from a wealthy family who becomes disillusioned with her privileged upbringing and begins to question the social norms of her time. The black protagonist, Nancy, is a former slave who is now trying to make a life for herself as a free woman. Despite their different backgrounds, the two women form a deep bond and are united by their shared experiences of oppression and discrimination.
