Harriet Beecher Stowe. a Christian author, she averaged nearly a book a year at the peak of her production, but “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is her most famous.

last month in a discussion led by Gwynn Pealer, the FKPC Book Club studied the 1852 Uncle Tom’s Cabin. It depicts the harsh conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans.

Anti-slavery forces in the American North embrased the novel; it provoked anger in the South. The book reached an audience of millions and was also presented as a play.
