Enhanced by recollections from the family's archivist, eighty-four-year-old Edwina Harleston Whitlock -- whose bloodline the author shares. The Sweet Hell Inside features a celebrated portrait artist whose subjects included industrialist Pierre du Pont; a black classical composer in the Lost Generation of 1920s Paris; and an orphanage founder who created the famous Jenkins Orphanage Band, a definitive force in the development of ragtime and jazz.With evocative and engrossing storytelling, Edward Ball introduces a cast of historical characters rarely seen before: cultured, vain, imperfect, rich, and black -- a family of eccentrics who defied social convention and flourished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598922744096,"sku":"NEW0060505907","price":21.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71zmpzB1fvL_94aaa5af-06c2-4833-945e-bd7bc32990ea.jpg?v=1779208931","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-sweet-hell-inside-the-rise-of-an-elite-black-family-in-the-segregated-south-national-book-award-winner-0060505907","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
