Publisher's summary

Melody’s story begins with the first book in her series.

Melody Ellison can’t wait to sing her first solo at church, and she wants to pick a song that’s special. She gets advice from her big brother, who has his sights set on becoming a Motown star, and inspiration from her older sister, who’s home from college with new ideas about marches and protests and making things fair. When Melody experiences discrimination for herself, she decides to stand up and speak out about civil rights, too. As her solo approaches, an unimaginable tragedy leaves her silent. Can Melody find her voice to speak up for those who can’t?

This audiobook includes a historical “Looking Back” section.

Informative & Easy To Connect With

I've learned more about the Civil Rights movement listening to this audiobook, than I have in my 21 years of living in the U.S.A. I felt like I was able to emotionally connect with the protagonist and her family, and loved how different perspectives of people living during the time could be seen in Melody, Yvonne, Dwayne, and Charles. This was a beautiful production of an engaging story that I'm so happy to have listened to.
