Davida Karen Ingalls

This is the story of the love affair between Davida Johnson Clark and Augustus Saint-Gaudens. She was his model for such works as Diana, Amor Caritas and other sculptures. From the 1880's to the early 1900's he was America's premier and most famous sculptor. They had one son. Though they never married they shared unconditional love for one another for more than twenty years. Little is known about Davida so the author has fictionalized her biographical information except the works for which she posed.
