For readers of Vanessa Miller, Sheila Williams, Victoria Christopher Murray and Tracy Chevalier, the story of an unconventional woman who overcame adversity to create enduring tributes in stone to her race and times. The life of pioneering Black Neoclassical sculptor Edmonia Lewis from the Civil War-era Midwest to Bostons abolitionist circles, to Romes expatriate community is resurrected in this stunning debut biographical novel.
I plan to be a sculptor, to memorialize forever the great men and women of my race, and those who have fought for our cause.
At the age of 8, orphaned, precocious Wildfire seems fated to a life of toil selling her handmade crafts to Niagara Falls tourists alongside her Ojibwe auntsBut Wildfires older half-brother, Samuel, has been making other plans for his gifted sibling. Soon, she is set on a new trajectoryand with it comes her birth name, Edmonia, and a revelation about her true origins.
Ensconced at the home of a trusted benefactor while Samuel makes his fortune in California, Edmonia flourishesdespite her abhorrence for etiquette lessonsPrivately nurturing artistic ambitions, she advances through the abolitionists prep school and lands at Oberlin College. But at Oberlin lies a devastating trap: Edmonia is accused of poisoning, nearly fatally, two friends, with tainted wine.
What ensues is a headline-making trial, a vicious attack by a white moband a bold journey that will lead Edmonia from a crucial introduction in Boston to a vibrant community of celebrated expatriate women artists in Rome, and encounters with such distinguished figures as President Ulysses SGrant, Pope Pius IX, and Frederick Douglass.
Still, Edmonias success is plagued by stinging critiques, potent racism, and haunting self-doubt. She must decide, too, whether to abandon her romantic entanglements, or devote herself to bringing to life her visions of beauty and justiceand hopefully, forge her place in a rapidly changing world.
