The story of the song that foretold a movement and the Lady who dared sing it. Billie Holiday's signature tune, 'Strange Fruit', with its graphic and heart-wrenching portrayal of a lynching in the South, brought home the evils of racism as well as being an inspiring mark of resistance. The song's powerful, evocative lyrics - written by a Jewish communist schoolteacher - portray the lynching of a black man in the South. In 1939, its performance sparked controversy (and sometimes violence) wherever Billie Holiday went. Not until sixteen years later did Rosa Parks refuse to yield her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Yet 'Strange Fruit' lived on, and Margolick chronicles its effect on those who experienced it first-hand: musicians, artists, journalists, intellectuals, students, budding activists, even the waitresses and bartenders who worked the clubs.

The audience was completely silent the first time Billie Holiday performed a song called "Strange Fruit." In the 1930s, Billie was known as a performer of jazz and blues music, but this song wasn't either of those things. It was a song about injustice, and it would change her life forever. Discover how two outsiders—Billie Holiday, a young black woman raised in poverty, and Abel Meeropol, the son of Jewish immigrants—combined their talents to create a song that challenged racism and paved the way for the Civil Rights movement.

Joanna Miller, also known as Joe, lives in Oak Steel, a town where people disappear. If anyone dares question the truth, they are killed--just like her friend, Ms. Annabelle. Despite those who try to stop her, Joe is determined to reveal the true, untold mysteries of Oak Steel. Author Tina Pope shares a collection of short stories based on a variety of cold cases and offering a glimpse inside the criminal mind, as well as the triggers that ultimately cause someone to snap and end a life in cold blood. From the woman who catches her husband cheating and is determined to keep it a secret to the woman who awakens chained to a bed and must determine where she is before someone dies, these stories take you on a dark journey through one violent crime after the other, as the residents of a town slowly become victims of a psychopathic mind at work. Strange Fruit Stories share a compelling look inside a young girl's valiant struggle to understand the world around her as time ticks away in a vicious battle between good and evil.
