Description
Her name is Jazmin, and like the music of her name, her life throbs and swings—a few flat notes to be sure, but also bursting with rich passages that rise and soar. Sitting on her stoop she fills her notebook with laughs, anger, and hope. There's the risky lure of 'luscious-looking' men and the consequences of free haircuts. This is a fourteen-year-old so-real girl living in Harlem in the 1960's, 'born with clenched fists' and big dreams, and strengthened by the love of a steadfast sister. Captured within pages of her tough, exuberant life are all the beauty, chaos, confusion, and clarity that accompany the excitement of exploring life's possibilities—and discovering they are endless.
Description
Jazmin, an Afro-American teenager who lives with her older sister in a small Harlem apartment in the 1960s, finds strength in writing poetry and keeping a record of the events in her sometimes difficult life.
