Discover the fascinating and singular life story of Josephine Baker - actress, singer, dancer, Civil Rights activist, member of the French Resistance during WWII, and a woman dedicated to erasing prejudice and creating a more equitable world - in Josephine Baker's Last Dance.

In this illuminating biographical novel, Sherry Jones spans Josephine's early years in servitude and poverty in America to her rise to fame as a showgirl in her famous banana skirt to her activism against discrimination, and her many loves and losses. From 1920s Paris to 1960s Washington to her final, triumphant performance, one of the most extraordinary lives of the 20th century comes to stunning life on the page.

With intimate prose and comprehensive research, Sherry Jones brings this remarkable and compelling public figure into focus for the first time in a joyous celebration of a life lived in technicolor, a powerful woman who continues to inspire today.

I was astounded by the detail in this biography. The descriptions of people, places and events was as if I were there in the midst of all the goings on. Josephine Baker truly was a hero and a woman among women. She stood for talent, strength , Independence and the will and passion to fight for freedom and equality! Her climb up the ladder from utter poverty and degradation to one of the most famous and respected women in the world was a lesson to us all.
The reader had an honest and authentic delivery. It was a pleasure to listen to her professionalism. I highly recommend this book.

One of the best biographies ever!

It took me a minute to get sucked in, I had to get over the breathy narrator. Once you get past her breathiness the storyline is awesome!
