Orphaned at an early age, Maxine grew up with her grandmother, Lindy, a singing star. Lindy is now a smoking, drinking, embittered woman whose glorious voice has atrophied from disuse, and the house on Sydenham Street that used to swing with laughter and music is dim and lifeless. Lindy's once-thriving neighborhood has become a blighted, crime-infested area. Yet, after a few days there, Maxine realizes that Lindy and Sydenham Street itself have been the source of her own strength and success, and she is moved to help both reclaim their glory.
With lyrical prose, rich humor, and keen insight, Ms. Campbell creates a moving story of hope and redemption, of the faith and commitment that can make any comeback possible.
