For some, their talent will take them to the pinnacle of stardom, but for those they leave behind, the path is far more difficult.

Told in the rich ethnic rhythms of Harlem song and dance, this sexy debut novel will touch readers of all backgrounds and persuasions and will leave them gasping for more from this fabulous debut author.
