The Greenwood District of Tulsa was the hub of prosperity for the African-American in 1921. The culture was as rich as the people, and maintaining a good name was as paramount as the money their ancestors spent their life accumulating... Chelsea Diamond didn't ask to be born into high society. Like an invisible barrier, she saw the social mores of the day too stifling for her own taste, challenging them every step of the way, until her rebelliousness led to an unexpected tragedy... Through the building up of Black Wall Street and the falling down of the same, Chelsea tries to navigate through the ruins of a beloved community, a tumultuous relationship with a mother with too many secrets, and a decision that she believes will haunt her for the rest of her life.
