"That's the day I gone up to Muscle Shoals to record my first song" (Nolan 185).

This marks the beginning of what Leshaya considers to be her legacy

Okay, So a microphone seems like an obvious choice, but hear me out.  She wants to be a big name, sparkling lights and all. She comes from this old rickety place that smells like sour milk constantly and a mom who sold her for drugs. A vintage microphone is vintage because it....doesn't have modern practical use. Leshaya is stuck in this vintage idea to stardom that is gonna end up breaking anyways.

This is the song that started it all. Leshaya listened to this song along with other similar tapes that helped shape Leshaya into the music lover and performer that she currently is in the book.

This here life that Harmon's got is a good one. My Harmon got a real pretty momma, and his pop be real soft mannered. He got a brother that once spilled his dinner, and that slap never did came. I wonder if this here fancy house done made my Harmon forget about the ladies...but I know he don't forget about me. Harmon all grown up, real handsome like, and his momma said she gonna help me. I don't got any idea what she meaning, but I hope my Harmon and i don't have to get split again.

The picture on the left shows the most impact and contains the sentence that sets the story in motion. Leshaya names herself, and it holds significance as as shown in earlier chapters, she doesn't have a parent figure. She named herself, she is her 'parent' figure. As for the word, the one that Leshaya can take with her wherever, or whoever she is living with, singing is an unflappable constant.

My first memory, i be drowning
close my eyes, that heavy water
big balls of water, hitting me hole
tossing me upside down
no breath left
open my mouth...
and swallow
choke
I think I may be
dead.

Janie...Leshaya...whatever she's called...she's a survivor. Rescued from the brink of death, this child of a heroin addict has seen it all: revolving foster homes, physical abuse, an unwanted pregnancy. Now her childhood is coming to an end, and she is determined to make a life for herself by doing  the only thing that makes her feel whole...singing.
Can this girl, born to a life of hardship,find the strength and courage to break away from her past and become the legend she is meant to be?
