Honoree Dalcour is a sharecropper's daughter, willing to work hard and dance every night on her way to the top. Dreamland offers a path to the good life, socializing with celebrities like Louis Armstrong and filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. But Chicago is also awash in bootleg whiskey, gambling, and gangsters. And a young woman driven by ambition might risk more than she can stand to lose. 2015: Film student Sawyer Hayes arrives at the bedside of 110-year-old Honoree Dalcour, still reeling from a devastating loss that has taken him right to the brink. Sawyer has rested all his hope on this frail but formidable woman, the only living link to the legendary Oscar Micheaux. If he's right-if she can fill in the blanks in his research, perhaps he can complete his thesis and begin a new chapter in his life. But the links Honoree makes are not ones he's expecting ... Piece by piece, Honoree reveals her past and her secrets, while Sawyer fights tooth and nail to keep his. It's a story of courage and ambition, hot jazz and illicit passions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women dancers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nightclubs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen twenties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press Large Print Black Voices. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024041.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010405.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220104011052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=998082BADAFE11EB9BE3539D58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
