Setting and Main Character

Set against a backdrop of the 1970’s Baltimore music scene, this is the story of 23-year-old Margie Stevens as she pulls herself out of a spiraling, heartbreak-induced depression and begins a personal journey of discovery.

Thematic Elements

Clarifying her own views on emerging feminism, social injustice, and personal spirituality—all while touring across the country as a singer in King Vido’s Swing Band—Margie encounters sexist and moral challenges that cause her to question her future path.

Questions and Conflict

Will she redefine her personal values in order to break away from uncomfortable ways of thinking? Will she find the courage to conquer fears of intimidation from the band leader and others on the tour? Finally, will Margie learn to speak up for herself using her authentic voice?
