Sarah's Oil: Faith, Fortune, And The Fight For Freedom

By Alex Beede

At just eleven years old, Sarah Rector became known as the richest Black girl in America. But behind the headlines was a story of exploitation, resilience, and survival that history almost forgot.

This book takes you deep into the groundbreaking documentary that uncovers Sarah Rector's extraordinary life from her unexpected oil fortune in Jim Crow America to the battles she faced against racism, greed, and the crushing weight of public attention. With gripping detail, it explores how a young Black girl's wealth sparked both fascination and fear, how her voice was silenced in the narrative of American history, and how her legacy continues to resonate today.

More than a retelling, this book challenges readers to reflect on race, wealth, power, and the fragile balance between opportunity and exploitation. It reveals why Sarah Rector's story matters now more than ever, and why remembering her is vital to understanding the past and shaping the future.
