Author: A. Van Jordan Publisher: In 1936, teenager MacNolia Cox became the first African American finalist in the National Spelling Bee Competition. Supposedly prevented from winning, the precocious child who dreamed of becoming a doctor was changed irrevocably. Her story, told in a poignant nonlinear narrative, illustrates the power of a pivotal moment in a life. "Jordan is a wizard at capturing vernacular in both conventional forms and his own invention." –Black Issues Book Review
