Denny Bryce has done a marvelous job bringing the Black belt, Jazz age Chicago to life! The debut novel is one of the best historical fiction written in current times, which weaves two timelines which are 100 years apart beautifully!!

Honoree Dalcour an ambitious chorus dancer from Chicago in 1925 wants to make her mark in the show biz industry. Sawyer, a film student in 2015 who just lost his sister to an accident has to finish his thesis on Oscar Micheaux! He interviews now 110 year old Honoree as part of his research and unearths so many hidden truths and unsolved mysteries!!

I really enjoyed Bryce’s penmanship in bringing the glitzy Jazz era filled with music, racketeering, mob and murder in the colored neighborhood of Chicago! I was in awe of the immense love and understanding between Honoree and Ezekiel playing subtly in the backdrop! Every fan of historical fiction and entertainment lover should definitely read this captivating tale of love, loss and forgiveness!
