If you were ever curious about how Black performers endured the vaudeville era's behind-the-scenes shenanigans of the entertainment business during the late 1800s-1920s allow me to introduce "The Jewel of The Blues" by Monica Chenault-Kilgore. This page-turner hooks readers from start to finish as it chronicles the story of 'the little girl with the big voice' from the church to theater stages and the engagement in perpetual mayhem.
