Description

Emily Ann "Baby" Teegarten's life is turned upside down when she becomes an orphan in 1925. Her aunt takes her in, but Baby has other plans - she wants to sing jazz in New York City. As she navigates the smoky stages of New Orleans speakeasies, Baby learns that the city can be a harsh place, especially for young women. With a voice that brings church ladies to tears and makes angels take notice, Baby sets out to make a name for herself as a singer. But the streets of New Orleans have their own secrets and dangers, and Baby soon finds herself in a world where the line between music and survival is thin. As she pursues her dreams, Baby must confront the harsh realities of her new life - and learn to rely on her wits and her voice to stay alive.
