SPARKLE by DENENE MILLNER
Sparkle is an epic tale inspired by the story of The Supremes. It's 1968 Detroit and a time when the
entertainment world is thoroughly mesmerized by the Motown sound. In the midst
of that musical and entrepreneurial phenomenon three beautiful sisters -- the
daughters of a former R&B singer-turned-Bible thumper -- leave the bosom of
the church and, against the strenuous objection of their mother, dive headfirst
into the tough, unforgiving world of R&B. As Sister, Dolores and Sparkle
submit to the Svengali-like styling of their manager and fight against the
ruthless ambitions of a cast of characters bent on taking advantage of their
fortune and fame, the close-knit family is torn apart by greed, ambition, broken
loyalties, and the merciless glare of the spotlight. But one sister, Sparkle,
may yet have what it takes to emerge as the brightest star of them
all.
