"This is the heartwarming story of Walter, Anne, Steve, Marty, Florrie, Gemma, John, Jim, Annie, Walter, Sarah and Peter, known collectively in the 1950's and 60's as The Burke Family Singers. From Eastern America to Western Canada, through an American South torn apart by injustice and racial segregation, to the glamorous television studios of Ed Sullivan and Mike Douglas, author Sarah Jo Burke lovingly takes us on her family's journey from rags to riches".
