Here's one of my favorites... 
 

Edmonia Lewis: The Sculptor They Called "Wildfire

                 An e-book by Dawn Reno,
       published by Bookmice.

  "Dawn Reno has given a heart wrenching account of Edmonia Lewis: The   Sculptor They Called "Wildfire."  Life was terribly difficult for the young  woman   known as Wildfire.  She finds herself taken from her Indian Reservation   and  delivered to Oberlin College, knowing no one.  Edmonia knows she has a  destiny to fulfill, but not quite sure what it is.  After being beaten and charged for murder, Edmonia discovers her desire for sculpting.  She doesn't allow prejudices to stand in her way and continues to succeed, becoming one of the  world's most acclaimed Women Sculptors.  Edmonia Lewis is truly a  inspiration to all women."
