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.

DAVIDA est l'histoire de l'amour inconditionnel entre Albertina Hultgren (alias Davida Johnson Clark) et le célèbre sculpteur américain Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Cet amour interdit a duré vingt-cinq ans, jusqu'à la mort prématurée de l'artiste. Elle était la femme éthérée, et lui la force et l'exubérance.

This is the second edition where real names and places are used when known. From his early childhood, Murray Clark sought love and acceptance from his father, who was raised as the bastard child of a famous artist. Murray struggled with jealousy toward his younger brothers, and he questioned the morals and values of people around him. As an adult, Murray lived life his way, with years of lying, womanizing, and heavy drinking. Though married four times, did he ever find unconditional love? Would Murray's high intelligence, his love for his two daughters, and his unique philosophy of life help him rise above his demons?
