Singing the Blues is a story of undying courage and hope. It tells of the ultimate redemption of African-Americans, a people displaced from their homes and cultures, yet connected to their broader family through an indomitable spirit. Intended for collective, creative psychotherapy, it illustrates the courage to look inward and confront hidden terrors, while seeking honest answers to questions on the complexity of race, identity, gender, slavery, oppression, justice and, ultimately, redemption. The collective spirit of African-Americans--their history and spirituality, education and miseducation, art and activism, innovation and invention, culture and beauty--is rolled into one spell-binding story. Our protagonist, Jemima Player, an African-American woman who found her authentic self, walks a winding journey toward her best self. Having grown up poor and without a father, Jemima had a friend in her sickly, adoring mother, Jena, enjoyed companionship and loyalty with friends and mentors, and found a loving, passionate relationship with her husband. As her wondrous life unfolds, would this be enough to fulfill her dream of a great America?
