About this title: The frustration and tragedy of segregation, the exhilaration and rising tension of the protest and the fears of Willie Tarrant are set against a passionate background of jazzomania, the one escape available to the beleaguered inhabitants of the black community of a Virginia ghetto.

"A somewhat strange text - one that leaves you with an unsettling feeling through most of it. Tragedies spring out of nowhere, much as I would imagine a 12 year old would view them. And triumphs are conducted with such grace and emotion, as if you could be in the very room in which the author is sitting. By the end I realized there was so much I hadn't known, so much I still do not understand about those years, and they are not even too long ago. And I also had a great conviction of the power of patience and following the path towards what is right."
