Sarah's Oil

In the early 1900s in Oklahoma Indian Territory, eleven-year-old Sarah Rector, a descendant of the Creek Freedmen, lives with her struggling family on a barren 160-acre allotment granted through a federal land program. Despite the skepticism surrounding the property, Sarah becomes convinced that oil lies beneath the land, encouraged by stories from local wildcatters and her strong religious faith. Her belief is confirmed when workers strike a massive oil gusher, transforming Sarah into one of the wealthiest children in America. As she navigates the treacherous world of oil wealth and racism, Sarah's determination and intelligence lead to a triumphant victory over corrupt businessmen and guardians who seek to exploit her and her family.
