Inspirational Historical
When a good church girl starts singing in a jazz club and falls for the music โas well as a handsome African American manโshe struggles to reconcile her childhood faith with her newfound passions. Raised in the Danish Baptist Church, Rose Sorensen knows itโs wrong to sing worldly songs. But Rose still yearns for those she hears on the radioโโCheek to Cheek,โ โSmoke Gets in Your Eyesโโand sings them when no one is around. One day, Roseโs cousin takes her to Calliopeโs, a jazz club, where she disยญcovers an exciting world she never knew existed. Here, blacks and whites mingle, brought together by their shared love of music. And though Rose worยญries itโs wrongโher parents already have a stable husband in mind for herโshe canโt stop thinking about the African American pianist of the Chess Men, Theo Chastain. When Rose returns to the jazz club, she is offered the role of singer for the Chess Men. The job would provide money to care for her sister, Sophy, who has cerebral palsyโbut at what cost? As Rose gets to know Theo, their fledgling relationship faces prejudices she never imagined. And as she struggles to balance the dream world of Calliopeโs with her cold, hard reality, she also wrestles with Godโs call for her life. Can she be a jazz singer? Or will her faith suffer because of her worldly ways? Set in Depression-era Chicago and rich in historical detail, Sing for Me is a beautiful, evocative story about finding real, unflinching love and embracingโat all costsโyour calling.
