Description
Description
In 1936, teenager MacNolia Cox became the first African American finalist in the National Spelling Bee Competition. Supposedly prevented from winning, the precocious child who dreamed of becoming a doctor was changed irrevocably. Her story, told in a poignant nonlinear narrative, illustrates the power of a pivotal moment in a life.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Jordan combines the tragic poignancy of the blues with the cinematic sweep of a documentary in his deeply human and highly imaginative second book."
