- South African writer Sarah Gertrude Millin was born Sarah Gertrude Liebson in Kimberley, Cape Province, South Africa, in 1889. She grew up near the diamond fields in Kimberley and the "river diggings" in Barkley West, where the white, "colored"--half black/half white--and black communities provided much of the background for her future novels.
Her 1924 novel "God's Stepchildren" dealt with the lives and struggles of four generations of a colored family in South Africa, a subject that was quite taboo at the time. Her next novel, "Mary Glenn" (1925), was about the plight of a mother whose child had disappeared. It became one of the most popular English-language novels in South Africa and cemented her reputation as a writer of note. In addition to her novels, she also wrote biographies (of Cecil Rhodes and South African military hero Jan Smuts), books on South African history, collections of essays and two autobiographies.
She died in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1968. - George Wettling was born on 28 November 1907 in Topeka, Kansas, USA. He died on 6 June 1968.
