About this book

Bessie Coulter's life changes when her father abruptly takes her and her brother Eddie from their home in Burlington, North Carolina, leaving their sick mother behind. They arrive in 1920s Harlem, a city that fascinates and unsettles Bessie in equal measure. Missing her mother and struggling to adjust to life with her two aunts, Bessie becomes concerned when her father begins spending time with an elegant woman. Determined to understand what is happening, she launches an investigation with Eddie's help. Their search leads them into Harlem's world of artists, jazz musicians, and writers, and toward a mysterious location called the Dark Tower. With assistance from their neighbor Lillian Moore and a Caribbean hoodoo woman named Miss Flo, Bessie works to uncover the mystery and reunite her family. This ebook includes a historical afterword.
