Black Pearl Sings! by Frank Higgins

Black Pearl Sings! is a powerful story about being a woman in a man's world, being black in a white world, and fighting for one's soul in a world where anyone can be a commodity.

In the midst of the Great Depression, Susannah travels the country, recording lost traditional songs for the Library of Congress. Hoping to find the one song that will bring her long-awaited recognition, she discovers Pearl Johnson in a Texas prison.
