In Georgie, Angel of Cell-Block Six, the author recounts the astonishing story of her mothers little brother, a nine-year-old child in a wheelchair, possessed of an amazing voice. Georgie sang all over St. Louis, at church and at concerts, private gatherings, in salons, and at the Cardinals games, where his counter-tenor voice filled the ball park. His success led him to an explosive situation as witness to a shooting in a lid club and his eventual role as the sole child whose testimony sent adult criminals to prison. The novel is based not only on the family story but on the St. Louis Post-Dispatchs numerous stories and front page photos of Georgie and his unusual fate.
