註釋

Belle Davenport has never belonged to herself, always belonged to them. Her identity & worth as a woman lost within a sea of men who have never loved nor valued her. She is trapped in Glennwood, Louisiana during the late 1920s, trapped there because she is the descendent of Dominique Decoux, a Haitian slave who had a generational curse to never know the makings of true love placed on her.Frank is an ordinary man who works the fields by day & is a bar hopping saxophone player with dreams to leave Glennwood & escape to Harlem to become a big band leader by night. Belle only begins to discover the makings of a woman once her life becomes intertwined with Frank's. She believes she has finally broken the curse & is capable of true love, but once the couple arrives in Harlem things become undone & their love is destroyed. It is only after Belle meets the who's who of the Harlem Renaissance & charming & suave nightclub owner, Jackson Smith that she finally begins to uncover the beauty in loving & valuing herself. Secrets of Frank's past are exposed & he is determined to destroy Belle before he destroys himself. A new life begins to unfold for her in Harlem. She learns to belong to no one except herself as she struggles to find the balance in being born black, being born a woman, & being born a jezebel.
