Publisher's summary

Jason Tanner, protégé of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has been by his mentor’s side in New York to spread the message of passive resistance. In Harlem, the epicenter of Black culture, poet Anita Hopkins tries to capture the message of Malcolm X, which she believes with all her heart: The time is now; enough is enough.

When Jason goes to the iconic B Flat lounge and sees Anita perform, he’s transfixed. Her passion for what she believes runs as deep as his. And Anita has never met anyone who can match her wit for wit like this. Their scorching desire for each other clashes with their fundamentally opposed beliefs...until, in a cruel twist of fate, Jason is drafted for Vietnam.

With the country at a breaking point and their romance caught in the center, both Anita and Jason are going to have to redefine heart, home, and what they truly desire.

The Southern Do-Gooder & The Northern Rebel

Confessions in B-Flat whisked us away to a time of the Civil Rights movement encased by a love story of Southern Do-Gooder, Jason Tanner and Northern Rebel, Anita Hopkins.

Jason, following the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., moves to Harlem, NY to help push the message of non-violent protests in order to help enact laws for civil rights. The last thing he was looking for was to fall in love especially with a Northern Rebel like Anita Hopkins, who followed the teachings of Malcolm X.

Not only was this a beautiful tale showcasing the art of courtship, dating, and love, it also highlighted two different worlds and ideologies learning to meet in the middle to fight for a common goal and for each other.

The descriptiveness and the author’s ability to transport us through the era with music, fashion, literature, movements, and world events was extraordinary. It took us back to that time and space while also relating to today’s time and allowing us to remember the service and sacrifice of those before us. One of the best historical fiction/romance novels of 2021.

Compelling

Loved the story contextualized around my lived historical current events. Even so, there were several surprises from the story teller. I’ll look for other books by Donna Hill. The narration was excellent.
