More than anything Sara hoped her life on Julia Street would be a sweet melody, but fate had more of a haunting refrain in mind. After leaving Chicago behind, Sara and husband Ben Jameson settled into an all Black South Berkeley working-class neighborhood that sat in the shadow of the affluent East Berkeley Hills. They had left behind everyone and everything they knew and loved to go to a place they had never been. Armed with hope, Sara and family faced two wars, social injustice, economic challenges, personal sorrow, and harsh life lessons. Ultimately, they were defined by their unflagging hope, enduring friendships, strong neighborhood connections, and opportunities beyond their wildest dreams. Sara's Song, The Julia Street Series Book 1 lovingly spans 1940's - 1960's.
