About this ebook

When Celeste Lassiter Massey is forced to live with her actress Aunt Valentina in Harlem, she is not thrilled to trade her friends and comfortable North Carolina for scary, big-city life. While Celeste experiences the Harlem Renaissance in full swing, she sees as much grit as glamour. A passionate writer, talented violinist, and aspiring doctor, she eventually faces a choice between ambition and loyalty, roots and horizons. The decision will change her forever.

First book I've read from this author and I couldn't keep my hands off it. Its so interesting, and Man, I just love books, but james Patterson and jeff Kinney can not touch the way I feel about this. Also, thanks for the interview about this book.

This book just took me through the 1920's. Now I feel like I'm apart of Celeste's family.. I really thought Big Willie and Celeste were gonna go out. I love that Celeste has a better connection with Aunt Society.
