"The power of Maria Diedrich's book is a testament to the scholarly judiciousness--one could say the moral sense--of its author. Diedrich tries to give the relationship the same respect that a sympathetic historian gives a failed revolution--taking care to reflect, first of all, upon the dignified terms that the protagonists used to represent their endeavor, whatever its follies. It is not an easy job, because what seemed initially satisfying and even noble in the infidelity--the courage of love across the color line--turned hurtful and hard."Diedrich, Maria is the author of 'Love Across Color Lines Ottilie Assing and Frederick Douglass' with ISBN 9780809066865 and ISBN 0809066866.
