The Book of Harlan by Bernice L. McFadden

Hello!


I am looking forward to reading the his new book by one of my favorite authors:
The Book of Harlan.



 "The Book of Harlan opens with the courtship of Harlan’s parents and his 1917 birth in Macon, Georgia. After his prominent minister grandfather dies, Harlan and his parents move to Harlem, where he becomes a musician. Soon, Harlan and his best friend, trumpeter Lizard Robbins, are lured across the Atlantic Ocean to perform at a popular cabaret in the Parisian enclave of Montmartre—affectionately referred to as “The Harlem of Paris” by black American musicians."

I hope that you will check it out; I sure am!
Always,
Bee
