Alice Randall tells untold stories. Whether it’s the story  of Black Bottom, the Black Detroit neighborhood that once rivaled and eclipsed Harlem as an engine of Black artistic excellence and economic progress before it was destroyed; the story, Cynara’s story, of an imaginative and entrepreneurial beige woman excluded from the pages of Gone With the Wind and celebrated in the pages of Randall’s New York Times bestselling novel The Wind Done Gone; the story of Black spy families; the story of how baked fish and foraged berries became the quintessential celebration meal of Africans enslaved in these Americas; the story of how Black and white Jazz luminaries survive the Great Depression by playing the Black and white coal camps of West Virginia; or the story of Black cowboys on the western frontier, she seeks and sees invisible triumphs and transforms them into novels, songs, cookbooks, and sometimes single recipes, rooted in her experience as a Black woman who was migrated from Motown to Music City.
