But Vivian, whose life has revolved around this band, soon realizes her daughters might have different aspirations. And when a talent manager approaches Vivian about the Salvations with an offer she can’t resist, she believes her work has paid off. Since they were young, Ruth, Esther, and Chloe have been talented singers, growing up in the Fillmore District during San Francisco’s jazz era. The novel is set against the backdrop of gentrifying 1950s San Francisco, where Vivian has made it her mission to ensure her daughters’ success with the musical group the Salvations. The best-selling author continues to keep family ties and Black history at the forefront while digging deep into racial tension, the history of New Orleans and the Fillmore District of San Francisco, and how women’s relationships fit into it all. Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, the award-winning author of The Revisioners and A Kind of Freedom, is back with her new book, On the Rooftop. ![]()
