Industry Reviews
"Roxane Orgill has written skillfully about musicians, and she brings those gifts to her picture of Mahalia Jackson....A compelling portrait of a gifted individual and her world."
Chicago Tribune - Mary Harris Russell (01/20/2002)
"Orgill captures her subject's fierce devotion to her faith and makes clear the powerful truth Jackson conveyed through her singing. She writes with a deliberate informality, steeping her words in the flavor of her subject's own language and phraseology and blending in conversational quotes to bring both Mahalia Jackson and her world into human and historical context."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (05/01/2002)
