"In this scintillating account, biographer Bundles ("On Her Own Ground") revisits the pioneering glamour and cultural patronage of her own great-grandmother, the hair-care heiress and Harlem Renaissance socialite A’Lelia Walker...a luminary described by Langston Hughes as the 'joy goddess of Harlem.'"—Publishers Weekly
