Produktbeschreibung

Be one of the first to read this sneak preview sample edition of Denny S. Bryce's riveting new historical saga. A candy-apple red Ford Mustang is parked outside my building. Unmistakable. My Aunt Daisy, the driver, is an audacious woman that no one in our family actually speaks to. They only speak about her-and not glowingly. Still, she is part of my escape plan . . . 1928, Los Angeles: The newly-built Hotel Somerville is the hotspot for the city's glittering African-American elite. It embodies prosperity and dreams of equality for all-especially Daisy Washington. An up-and-coming journalist, Daisy anonymously chronicles fierce activism and behind-the-scenes Hollywood scandals in order to save her family from poverty. But power in the City of Angels is also fueled by racism, greed, and betrayal. And even the most determined young woman can play too many secrets too far . . . 1968, Chicago: For Frankie Saunders, fleeing across America is her only escape from an abusive husband. But her rescuer is her reckless, profane Aunt Daisy, still reeling from her own shattered past. Frankie doesn't want to know what her aunt is up to so long as Daisy can get her to LA-and safety. But Frankie finds there's no hiding from long-held secrets-or her own surprising strength. Daisy will do whatever it takes to settle old scores and resolve the past-no matter the damage. And Frankie will come up against hard choices in the face of unexpected passion. Both must come to grips with what they need, what they've left behind-and all that lies ahead . . . RAVES FOR Wild Women and the Blues "The best kind of historical novel: immersive, mysterious and evocative." -Ms. magazine "Vibrant. . . . A highly entertaining read!" -New York Times bestselling author Ellen Marie Wiseman "The music practically pours out of the pages." -Oprah Daily
