He is part of the household's all-black staff, along with "Miss Mamie," the talented cook, and new maid Jennie Williams. But the Barclays' fortunes have fallen, and their money is almost gone. When a business associate proposes selling Miss Mamie's delicious rib sauce under the brand name "The Rib King" -- using a caricature of a wildly grinning Mr. Sitwell on the label -- Mr. Barclay, desperate for cash, agrees. Yet neither Miss Mamie nor Mr. Sitwell will see a dime. Humiliated, Mr. Sitwell grows increasingly distraught, and his anger builds to a rage that explodes in shocking tragedy." -- page [4] of cover. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a African American household employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Upper class families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Race relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Exploitation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 945 $a lpt 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014151.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20220628010943.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220104011053.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210528010046.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F464FE36BF7911EB9A43D8CE50ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
