"From postwar Hollywood to a penthouse in Paris, from the funky soul music recording studios of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to the high fashion runways of modern Manhattan, David Ritz chronicles the ambitions and destinies of three generations of unforgettable black women in an unforgettable new novel - Passion Flowers." "Meet the Faith women: ...Georgia, an extraordinary, sensual nineteen-year-old beauty who arrives in Hollywood in 1945, determined to become a star, who is a magnet for men - white and black - and a thorn in the side of the movie establishment....Chanel, Georgia's voluptuous love-child, who comes of age in the 1960s, a spirited soul who finds fulfillment in the power of her incredible voice - a rich gospel sound that her mother can neither understand nor compete with....Marisa, a woman of the 1990s in a world rich in the opportunities denied Georgia and Chanel. A "now" woman of bi-racial heritage, she revels in every minute of her life, coming into her daredevil beauty at seventeen and striking out as an international recording artist before the age of twenty-one. She is the pride and glory of her mother and grandmother - and the fuse that ignites the competitive fires of these three extraordinary women." "...Georgia...Chanel...Marisa...Three generations of Faith women, sharing a driving need to succeed, to beat the odds, and a strategy for survival that is intuitive, dramatic and fearless."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
