Blurb: “The Uncalled by Paul Laurence Dunbar is a novel first published in 1901 by the International Association of Newspapers and Authors. This book is Dunbar’s first novel and represents a departure from his well-known poetry, exploring themes of race, religion, and destiny in post-Reconstruction America.

The novel follows the life of Freddie Brayton, a young African American boy who struggles with fate, faith, and societal expectations. Raised in a strict religious household, Freddie experiences a crisis of faith as he resists the rigid moral expectations imposed on him. Over time, he rejects the idea of becoming a minister, despite the pressures of his community, and sets out on his own path - one marked by rebellion, love, and self-discovery.”
