Cover Art by Larnell Custis Butler
Author of Improvise in the Amen Corner (Passager Books, 2007)

About the cover art in the artist's own words:
“I am hearing-impaired, but I am good at looking at people. I see a nose here, eyes there, I remember my mother’s friends, and I put it all together. I love the styles of the forties, so I’ll draw lace, a brooch, a hat . . . . My mother was a fine seamstress and sewed all her clothes by hand. Her stitches were perfectly straight and all the same length. I try to imitate her stitches in my drawings.”
