Henriette Delille - Rebellious...

Elsie B. Martinez, Colette H....

Beginning in 1812, this fictional biography follows the life of Henriette Delille, a free woman of color who founded the Sisters of the Holy Family. This examination recounts her spiritual journey and struggle to break free from French Quarter society, despite her family’s protests. Instead, she chose to focus on the needs of the less fortunate, teaching such principles as chastity and obedience, until her death in 1862.  Today the Catholic Church is considering the Venerable Henriette Delille for sainthood, making her the first African American in North America to receive such an honor. Her story provides a glimpse of what life was like in the French Quarter during the nineteenth century and offers enlightenment on voodoo traditions and the plaçage system.

She visits the Eiffel Tower on her birthday and celebrates Christmas Eve in the shadow of Notre Dame. Illustrated with stunning museum reproductions and lovely watercolor paintings and collages, the book also includes biographical sketches of the featured painters. Charlotte’s charming scrapbook will leave readers of all ages shouting, “Vive Paris!” Praise for Charlotte in Paris “[A] delightful heroine. . . . [A] charming offering.” —Booklist“The narrative is breathless and chock-full of incidental characters, including every dog Charlotte meets.
