Requests:  1 Summary:  "At home they are just sisters, but on stage, they are The Salvations. Ruth, Esther, and Chloe have been singing and dancing in harmony since they could speak. Thanks to the rigorous direction of their mother, Vivian, they've become a bona fide girl group whose shows are the talk of the Jazz-era Fillmore. Now Vivian has scored a once-in-a-lifetime offer from a talent manager, who promises to catapult The Salvations into the national spotlight. Vivian knows this is the big break she's been praying for. But sometime between the hours of rehearsal on their rooftop and the weekly gigs at the Champagne Supper Club, the girls have become women, women with dreams that their mother cannot imagine. The neighborhood is changing, too: all around the Fillmore, white men in suits are approaching Black property owners with offers. One sister finds herself called to fight back, one falls into the comfort of an old relationship, another yearns to make her own voice heard. And Vivian, who has always maintained control, will have to confront the parts of her life that threaten to splinter: the community, The Salvations, and even her family."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Item being held Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Sexton Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Sexton   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
