In an undercover traveling band, Lucille was billed as The Little Girl with the Big Voice, shining at church revivals, belting out gospel hymns and never staying in once place too longall to keep attention off the real reason the Loves had to migrate across America. Unaware of the danger, Lucille always wanted more: she dreamed of breaking out of the backwoods and being big enough for Broadway. Finally, nearly eleven years after setting out on the road with her parents, Lucille is discovered by Marcus Williams, a young talent manager who whisks her away to chase her dreams.</p><p>The big cities arent kind to Lucille; no matter how big her voice is, theres always another act to be compared to. So Marcus rebrands The Little Girl with the Big Voice and sets Lucille up with a band. Once Miss Lucilles Black Troubadours are formed, no one can hold a candle to them. Together with Big Bobby, Lincoln and Sweet Mitchell, Miss Lucille and her band become rising stars, moving up the bill and delivering knockout performances at every club and theater on the circuit.</p><p>But as opportunities grow stagnant and the band turns restless, personal demons haunt the Troubadours. Between drinking, gambling and love affairs, Lucilles family secret is revealed, and its a shock even to her: a decades-old robbery that ended in a suspicious deathand all signs seem to point to her own father as the culprit. Now the thieves from years past have caught up with Lucille and are back for revengeand to collect the money that was never recovered with the body.</p>...(*_*)9781488230646_<p><strong>Set in the sparkling 1920s jazz era, <em>The Jewel of the Blues</em> pulls back the curtain on all the romance, danger and drama in the bustling backstage life of a young performer.</strong></p><p>Billed as the Little Girl with the Big Voice, blues singer Lucille Arnetta Love always dreamed of life under the lights.
