Published in 1890, this novel reflects the social reform ideology of the US women's movement in the late nineteenth century. Its theme is the destructive effect of the 'demon' alcohol on the family. The Baptist Messenger, a black religious publication, called it `one of the silent, yet powerful agents at work to break down unreasonable prejudice, which is a hindrance to both races.'
