It all began in 1927, in the small town of Rudell, Mississippi, after the sudden and tragic death of Cora Harvey's parents. She has nothing left except her burning desire to become a singer. But her dream will never come true in Rudell, especially if she marries the man she adores, Dr. David Mackey. So when she sets out for Chicago, everyone in the close knit community, including David believes that the next time they see Cora, her name will be in lights. However, it's not long before Cora finds herself back in Rudell and back in David's arms harboring a secret she dare not reveal. . .A secret that will cause her daughter, Emma to flee Rudell with no intention of ever looking back. And even when Emma finds the perfect man and happiness at last, she is determined to do whatever it takes to keep her family's shameful past at bay. Then the dream that began with Cora comes full circle with her beloved granddaughter Parris whose melodic voice fills the dimly lit nightclubs of New York City. Yet, when tragedy strikes, opening a door to the past, Parris discovers the hidden truths that have ripped the family apart---but which may ultimately bind them together at last.From the dusty roads of the Delta to the pulsing metropolis of New York City, Rhythms is a rich, unforgettable tale about loss and healing, redemption and love.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Excellent story of triumph,success and forgiveness
The author did an outstanding job of flowing the novel in a way that it captured my heart and could not wait to read what would happen with the next generation. At the end she connected all and showed how a strong foundation of love from family takes a person a long way. I cried at the end ..touch my heart like I knew Cora and her family. I was happy when David and Cora got back together. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!!!!!!

I wish there was a sequel.

When Cora's parent's are brutally murdered, she leaves her Mississippi home and her boyfriend David for Chicago, where there's a lot of thing's going on that, she is not use too, when she is brutally raped, she returns home, and loses the love of her life, David, when she have a biracial baby.
