Smith was at the forefront of transitioning blues music from a rural novelty to a legitimate art form that critics and audiences took seriously. <br /> <br /> Behind the scenes of her success, though, Bessie navigated a story family and personal life. She had adult sisters who depended on her for a living and yet disrespected her when she wasn't around. Likewise, she settled with a husband, Jack Gee, who mistreated her in every possible way. <br /> <br /> This book looks at the incredible and influential life of Bessie Smith.</p>
