While all Mississippi bakes in the scorching summer of 1925, a
sudden orphanhood casts its icy shadow across Emily Ann Teegarten,
a pretty young teen. Taken in by an aunt bent on ridding herself of
this unexpected burden, "Baby" Teegarten plots her escape using the
only means at her disposal: a voice that makes church ladies cry
and angels take notice. "I'm gonna sing jazz up to New York City,"
she brags to anybody who'll listen. 'Cept that Big Apple-well, it's
an awful long way from that dry patch of earth she used to call
home. So when the smoky stages of New Orleans speakeasies give a
whistle, offering all kinda shortcuts, Emily soon learns it's the
whorehouses and drug joints promising to tickle more than just a
young girl's fancy that can dim a spotlight . . . and knowing the
wrong people can snuff it out. Jazz Baby just wants to sing-not
fight to stay alive.
