註釋Winter Prophet was inspired by the life of African American opera diva, Sisseretta Jones, known as the "Black Patti" (1869-1933). Set in the late nineteenth century, the novel follows Winter, the uniquely talented daughter of former slaves, determined to become an opera singer, and her best friend, Nathan, an undertaker's son, who dreams of becoming a boxer. Pressured by their parents to marry, the couple finally agree, but on their wedding day, bride and groom run away together setting out in opposite directions to create new paths for what will become extraordinary lives.
