"The whole fact is this Joe, I am in an awkward fix. I have got myself into a scrape, and I want you to help me out of it. You were good at such things when we were at College, and I want you to try your hand again."
"Well, what's the difficulty now?"
"Well, it is rather a serious one. I have got a child on my hands, and I don't know what to do with it."
"Whose child is it?"
"Now, that's just where the difficulty lies. It is the child of one of my girls, but it looks so much like me, that my wife don't want it on the place. I am too hard up just now to take the child and her mother, North, and take care of them there. And to tell you the truth I am too humane to have the child sold here as a slave. Now in a word do you think that among your Abolitionist friends in the North you could find any one who would raise the child and bring it up like a white child."

It was quite good for a book written at the time it was. I wish we could find the missing chapters.
Minnie’s Sacrifice was written by Frances E.W. Harper around 1869 as a serialized short novel in the black newspaper, The Christian Recorder.
The story follows the fate of two young people who pass for white because their fathers are white slave owners and their mothers are enslaved people.
