My fine lady

Yolanda Joe

In this spunky update of a classic, a young woman finds she's not a fair lady, she's a fine one—actually more than fine when it comes to her musical skills. This gift hasn't gone unnoticed by several key men in her life. Before Imani makes it, though, she still has to learn how to navigate issues of trust and identity and how to find the strength to be her own inspiration. "Joe's compelling tale about one woman's coming into her own and the dichotomy between educated African-Americans and those living in poverty may well become a popular classic in its own right." – Booklist
