{"product_id":"searching-for-sarah-rector-the-richest-black-girl-in-america","title":"Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America","description":"The incredible and little-known story of Sarah Rector, once the wealthiest Black girl in America, from Coretta Scott King Honor Award winner Tonya Bolden.\nThe inspiration for the movie Sarah’s Oil, the major motion picture from Amazon MGM Studios.\nSearching for Sarah Rector tells the true story of a young Black girl born in Indian Territory (land in today's Oklahoma) in the early 1900s. Author Tonya Bolden sets Rector’s rags-to-riches tale against the backdrop of American history, including the creation of Indian Territory; the making of Oklahoma, with its Black towns and boomtowns; and the wild behavior of many greedy and corrupt adults.\nAt the age of eleven, Sarah was a very rich young girl. Even so, she was powerless . . . helpless in the whirlwind of drama―and danger―that swirled around her. Then one day word came that she had disappeared.\nThis is her story, and the story of other children like her, filled with ups and downs, bizarre goings-on, and a heap of crimes.\nOut of a trove of primary documents, including court and census records, as well as interviews with family members, Bolden painstakingly pieces together the events of Sarah’s life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1419708465\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1419708465.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bolden, Tonya\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
