By the time Eleanora Fagan was fifteen, she knew she possessed something that could possibly change her life-a voice. Eleanora could sing. She sang from somewhere inside her that made it seem as if she had lived each lyric, and in many ways she had. Through a sequence of raw and poignant poems that form the singer's fictional memoir, award-winning poet Carole Boston Weatherford chronicles Eleanora Fagan's metamorphosis into Billie Holiday. With stunning art by Floyd Cooper that captures the spirit of the time, this book offers a revealing look at a cultural icon. A Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book, A YALSA Best Book for Young Adults, A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year, A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year Book jacket.
