Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fire in the Flint" by Walter White is a novel published in 1924. It follows Dr. Kenneth Harper, an African American physician and World War I veteran, who returns to his Georgia hometown to open a medical practice.

Written during the Harlem Renaissance, the novel powerfully illuminates racial oppression in early 20th-century America.
