When she chooses a path of independence-embracing love, motherhood, and desire on her own terms-Mary is both condemned and admired, a figure of scandal and strength. Through Mary's story, Julia Peterkin captures the rhythms of rural Black life with lyricism and intensity, weaving themes of freedom, spirituality, and survival into a deeply human tale. Both celebrated and controversial, \u003cem\u003eScarlet Sister Mary\u003c\/em\u003e endures as a striking work of Southern Gothic fiction that confronts the costs of independence in a world bound by judgment and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Peterkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515467333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515467335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spire Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Julia Peterkin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241971790079,"sku":"9781515467335","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_477c76e1-1999-4d1d-851c-65528f30ffef.jpg?v=1772656861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scarlet-sister-mary-julia-peterkin-9781515467335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
