Description
Based on the long-running off-Broadway hit play of the same name, this adaptation is now in paperback. Rich with African-American heritage, it chronicles a young girl's ascent from gospel choir member to pop star. The tale was inspired by the true story of the author's sister, Doris Troy, who was a pop singer in the 1960s.
