For months I stood in the wings, an understudy waiting for my time to shine. I never imagined he would be in the audience that night. Canon Holt. Famous film director. Talented. Fine. Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood.
From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips when Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic. But stars shine brightest in the dead of night. Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.
Could this one shot—the role and love of a lifetime—cost me everything?
This beautiful new edition includes a never-before-published bonus epilogue!

Narrator Eboni Flowers uses her Broadway experience to portray Neevah Saint, a theater actress recruited to star in film director Canon Holt's biopic about 1940s-era Black, bisexual singer Dessi Blue. Flowers dazzles with her emotional and vocal range. Her smooth voice spotlights Neevah's passion for Canon and his film. Flowers differentiates cast and crew in her dialogue. Jakobi Diem's low, raking voice delivers Canon's chapters, creating a refreshing hero both masculine and vulnerable. At times, Diem slows his pace for effect, a choice that may distract some listeners. Nicole Small's fizzy, textured voice delineates a clear contrast for Dessi Blue's screenplay excerpts. April Christina sings two embedded songs that evoke Dessi's era. This production provides a layered and significant performance. C.A.
