Requests:  3 Summary:  When fifteen-year-old Ella Fitzgerald's mother dies at the height of the Depression in 1932, the teenager goes to work for the mob to support herself and her family. When the law finally catches up, the "ungovernable" adolescent is incarcerated in the New York Training School for Girls in upstate New York--a wicked prison infamous for its harsh treatment of inmates, especially Black ones. Determined to be free, Ella escapes and makes her way back to Harlem, where she is forced to dance for pennies on the street. Looking for a break into show business, Ella draws straws to appear at the Apollo Theater's Amateur Night on November 21, 1934. Rather than perform a dance routine directly after "The World Famous Edwards Sisters" number, the homeless Ella, wearing men's galoshes a size too big, risks everything when she decides to sing Judy instead. Four years later, at barely twenty-one, Ella Fitzgerald has become the bestselling female vocalist in America.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Richards Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Richards Item being held Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Richards Item being held Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Richards Checked In Add Copy to MyList
