Author:
Powell, Isabel; Burnett, Joyce
This is the incredible autobiography of the late Isabel Washington Powell from her early years as a young "drama queen" with her big sister, Fredi Washington, in early 1900's Savannah, Georgia; her young adult years as a Cotton Club dancer in Harlem during the 1920's; her marriage to Adam Clayton Powell in the 1930's; her divorce following his election to Congress in 1945; and her life after Adam.
Winner of the 2009 Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award.
Despite Adam's human weaknesses and her own broken heart, Isabel loved him until she took her very last breath.
This story is a powerful journey from love to forgiveness and back. It was also the love and support of her family and especially her sister, Fredi Washington (star of the 1929 film "Black and Tan Fantasy" and the Academy Award nominated 1934 film "Imitation of Life") that enabled her to survive.
