Description
Finding Rebecca examines the casual disappearance of America's first Black female doctor from records and memory. But the search for her story and her final resting place, more than one hundred years after her death, turned up a few murky details that author Shani King uses to piece together a picture of the life she led, her hardships, and her many accomplishments. Young readers will discover more about this trailblazing first--and help ensure that she is lost no longer.

Critical Reviews
A study in perseverance--both that of the book's subject and the author who unearthed her story.-- "Kirkus Reviews" (7/19/2024 12:00:00 AM)
King tells Crumpler's story well, focusing on facts while acknowledging (in the back matter) the difficulties of conducting research on a little-known person and the importance of archives. Tadgell's graceful illustrations, which appear to be ink drawings with color washes, re-create the period setting while portraying Crumpler as down-to-earth. Calling Crumpler brilliant, brave, and hardworking, King closes by urging readers, "Remember her name."-- "Booklist Reviews" (8/16/2024 12:00:00 AM)
