Description

A stolen song, a stolen kiss and a stunning family legacy
Jazz bassist Beauregard ("Bo") Sonski-Abbott finds himself reeling after learning an aging Broadway producer may have stolen a song written by his distant relative: a great-great uncle who was enslaved on one of the biggest plantations in Georgia. Bo's journey to unravel the truth takes him from the music scene of New York to Washington, DC, only to be sidetracked by a much younger woman who threatens to tear apart his marriage and his career.

Featured Reviews

The swing, sway and blues of a musicians life saunter through the pages of this enjoyable novel.
Bo Sonski-Abbott is staggered to find that a Broadway producer may have taken a song written by his great great uncle. Bo treks from New York to Washington D.C. as he searches for the truth as he encounters what it is to be a musician. This novel has it all ... twists, turns, stolen moments and a younger woman that threatens all that he knows, his career and especially his marriage.
You don’t have to be a jazz lover to find the ‘groove’ of this novel.
Thank you NetGalley, Debbie Burke and Queen Esther Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review.
