Yellowleaf is a novel written by Sacha Gregory and published in 1919. The book is set in the American South and tells the story of a young woman named Yellowleaf, who is of mixed African American and Native American heritage. Yellowleaf is raised by her grandmother, a medicine woman, and learns about her cultural traditions and beliefs. As Yellowleaf grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the discrimination and racism that exists in the world around her. She falls in love with a white man named John, but their relationship is met with opposition from both their families and society as a whole. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and the struggle for acceptance in a society that is deeply divided by racial tensions.
