Summary

Harlem in its heyday—the 1920s—is the backdrop for the next Scraps of Time story. For Lilly Belle, the capital of Black America” is about as far from her hometown of Smyrna, Tennessee, as a twelve-year-old can get—maybe not in miles but certainly in mind set. A summer program for gifted young writers opens a new world. Jazz music in the street lulls her to sleep, her classroom is in a mansion called the Dark Tower,” and the author Zora Neale Hurston is her teacher, helping Lilly Belle come to a deeper understanding of the power of words, especially her own. Once again Patricia C. McKissack builds an involving story around real events and famous figures.
