It all began in 1927, in the small town of Rudell,
Mississippi, after the sudden and tragic death of Cora
Harvey's parents. She has nothing left except her burning
desire to become a singer. But her dream will never come
true in Rudell, especially if she marries the man she
adores, Dr. David Mackey. So when she sets out for
Chicago, everyone in the close knit community, including
David believes that the next time they see Cora, her name
will be in lights. However, it's not long before Cora
finds herself back in Rudell and back in David's arms
harboring a secret she dare not reveal. . .A secret that
will cause her daughter, Emma to flee Rudell with no
intention of ever looking back. And even when Emma finds
the perfect man and happiness at last, she is determined
to do whatever it takes to keep her family's shameful past
at bay. Then the dream that began with Cora comes full
circle with her beloved granddaughter Parris whose melodic
voice fills the dimly lit nightclubs of New York City.
Yet, when tragedy strikes, opening a door to the past,
Parris discovers the hidden truths that have ripped the
family apart--but which may ultimately bind them together
at last.
From the dusty roads of the Delta to the pulsing
metropolis of New York City, Rhythms is a rich,
unforgettable tale about loss and healing, redemption and
love.
