Catching Sara Dove by Bertha Harris. First Edition 1969 Her first book. Mylar

Description: Harris's first novel, Catching Saradove (1969), is a brilliant portrayal of what it is like to be young, a woman, and lacking direction. The book begins with Saradove Racepath, who is raising a child by herself on the Lower East Side of New York City. Succeeding chapters move between Saradove's memories of a childhood with lower-class parents in the South and a confused, almost desperate, young adulthood in New York. Following a nonlinear pattern of time, Harris emphasizes the workings of Saradove's mind, reflecting the frailties of the human psyche. Events in the main character's life correspond closely to those of the author's, giving the plot an autobiographical quality. Harris's characterization of Saradove is, however, much more than a fictionalized self-portrait. From Saradove's isolation through the moment in which she realizes her capacity for self-actualization, Harris encompasses both the despair and the hope of the world.
