Windy City Blues

In 1960s Chicago, a young woman stands in the middle of a musical and social revolution. A new historical novel from the bestselling author ofÂ White Collar GirlÂ andÂ What the Lady Wants.

Â â€œThe rise of the Chicago Blues scene fairly shimmers with verve and intensity, and the large, diverse cast of characters is indelibly portrayed with the perfect pitch of a true artist.â€
â€”Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author ofÂ The Swans of Fifth AvenueÂ Â

Leeba Groski doesnâ€™t exactly fit in, but her love of music is not lost on her childhood friend and neighbor, Leonard Chess, who offers her a job at his new record company in Chicago. What starts as answering phones and filing becomes more than Leeba ever dreamed of, as she comes into her own as a songwriter and crosses paths with legendary performers like Chuck Berry and Etta James. But itâ€™s Red Dupree, a black blues guitarist from Louisiana, who captures her heart and changes her life.

Their relationship is unwelcome in segregated Chicago and they are shunned by Leebaâ€™s Orthodox Jewish family. Yet in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement, Leeba and Red discover that, in times of struggle, music can bring people together.
