Here is a firsthand account of how a young black boy struggling in the cotton fields of Texas pursues his passionate love of music. How can he make his God-given dream come true in the face of racial hatred and discrimination? How can a young female African slave, brutally torn from her twin sister on the auction block, keep alive the faith to be reunited with that sister more than one hundred years later? This book is a slice of history straight from the hearts of those who lived it. It is a story that everyone needs to read. It is a story of hope and love that proves that not matter how humble the beginnings and how terrible the oppression, God can cause the best to grow out of it all. The answer is, as Granny always said to young Charles, "Now listen to me, child. Stead of complaining that roses get thore, be glad that thorns got roses."
