Joyce Carol Thomas

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Despite her mean-spirited foster mother's attempts to demean her, fourteen-year-old orphan Marigold finds the song within her heart during the search for a new lead gospel singer for the Rose of Sharon Baptist Church.

​

Thomas spins the familiar Cinderella tale into one filled with more magic and soulful, laugh-out-loud humor.

​

The book was later developed into the picture book The Gospel Cinderella.
