About this ebook

It was a time of miraculous change in America, as the cry for justice and equality rang out, from the Deep South to the West Coast. And in the Motor City, a new sound was about to explode that would break down the barriers between white and black. Three close friends from the Detroit streets, Effie, Deena, and Lorrell, had the electrifying talent to bring any audience leaping to its feet—and with the help of C.C.'s groundbreaking music and Curtis's vision and ruthless ambition, they were poised on the giddy brink of greatness. But fame never comes cheap. And truth, loyalty, and love will always have to struggle to survive in the spotlight's merciless glare . . .

Ratings and reviews

Ms. Millner has done it again! She did a wonderful, WONDERFUL job turning the screenplay of Dreamgirls into a novel. I specifically enjoyed the details that weren't seen in the movie which, in my opinion, adds more development to the characters. Job well done! :) Exceptional work.

This was soooo good!! Makes me want to see the film again

It beat me inside
