"Billed as the Little Girl with the Big Voice, blues singer Lucille Arnetta Love always dreamed of life under the lights. From traveling family gospel band to lead singer in a riotous vaudeville troupe, Lucille is on the rise. But a devastating family secret, one that's poised to shatter every dream she's ever had, casts an inescapable shadow over Lucille's career. Decades ago, a botched robbery ended in a suspicious death--and all signs point to Lucille's own father as the culprit. It's a secret that Lucille's family is determined to keep buried--even from Lucille herself. For a time, a fresh start feels possible, especially when Marcus Williams, Lucille's manager--and sometimes paramour--sets her up with a band to tour the country: Miss Lucille's Black Troubadours. Lucille's dream of seeing her name in the bright lights of Broadway may happen yet, if she and the Troubadours can endure the highly competitive, rocky road to fame. Beneath the dazzling glamour of the vaudeville scene lies a wicked underbelly, as drinking, gambling, salacious love affairs and racial tensions compete to dim Lucille's shining star. And when shady figures from her father's past emerge, their thirst for revenge threatens to silence Lucille's career--and the sultry singer herself--for good"--
