As she navigates the challenges of her environment, including family struggles and societal expectations, Jazz finds herself at the heart of a cultural awakening. The novel explores themes of hope, resilience, and the power of music to transcend hardship. Through Jazz’s eyes, readers experience the richness of the era’s artistic expression and the importance of pursuing one’s dreams against all odds.
