The stunning voice and hard life of legendary jazz singer Billie
Holiday is revealed through evocative, accessible poetry. In 1915,
Sadie Fagan gave birth to a daughter she named Eleanora. The world,
however, would know her as Billie Holiday, possibly the greatest
jazz singer of all time. Eleanora's journey to become a legend took
her through pain, poverty, and run-ins with the law. By the time
she was fifteen, she knew she possessed something that could
possibly change her life--a voice. Eleanora could sing. Her
remarkable voice led her to a place in the spotlight with some of
the era's hottest big bands. Through a sequence of raw and poignant
poems, New York Times best-selling and award-winning poet Carole
Boston Weatherford chronicles the singer's young life, her fight
for survival, and the dream she pursued with passion.
