| 520 | |a "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 12, orphaned, precocious Wildfire seems fated to a life of toil selling her handmade crafts to Niagara Falls tourists alongside her Ojibwe aunts. But Wildfire's older half-brother, Samuel, has been making other plans for his gifted sibling. Soon, she is set on a new trajectory-and 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 flourishes-despite her abhorrence for etiquette lessons. Privately nurturing artistic ambitions, she advances through the abolitionist's prep school and lands at Oberlin College. But at Oberlin lies a devastating 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 mob-and 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 S. Grant, Pope Pius IX, and Frederick Douglass. Still, Edmonia's 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 justice-and hopefully, forge her place in a rapidly changing world. | ||
