Jackie Smith had no idea that her mother’s death would launch her into a murky world of family secrets dating back generations into slavery and into the present where love, tradition and racism collide.
Based on a true story where a dream became a nightmare and inspired a mother to embark on an unusual career to ensure her children never suffered. This book grew out of conversations about a family whose mother strived to become the first successful Black female country western singer.
