As a young girl in Florida in the 1890s, Augusta enjoyed nothing
more than playing with clay. She would sculpt it into little
figures: cows, chickens, ducks. Augusta's mother didn t mind but
her father, a stern preacher, felt the girl was wasting time on
idle nonsense. Augusta s sculpting talent blossomed as she grew
into a young woman. Eventually, she found herself at a crossroad.
Augusta wanted to pursue a career as an artist, but to do so she
would have to leave behind all she knew. With only her passion to
guide her, Augusta headed to New York City to follow her dream
wherever it might take her. Award-winning author Alan Schroeder
deftly weaves together known historical details to create a
compelling portrait of this unique Harlem Renaissance sculptor.
Warm paintings capture both Augusta Savage s struggles and
resilience as she skillfully carved out her own special place in
art history."
