一部令人惊叹的小说，讲述了一位母亲为她的三个女儿实现的音乐明星梦与女儿们对自己生活的雄心壮志相碰撞的故事–以20世纪50年代旧金山的城市化背景为背景。
在家里，她们只是一对姐妹，但在舞台上，她们是救世主。露丝、埃丝特和克洛伊从会说话起就一直在和谐地唱歌和跳舞。由于她们的母亲薇薇安的严格指导，她们已经成为一个真正的女子团体，她们的表演是爵士时代菲尔莫尔的话题。
现在，薇薇安从一个人才经理那里得到了一个千载难逢的机会，他承诺将把救世主乐队推向全国的聚光灯下。薇薇安知道这是她一直在祈祷的重大突破。但是，在屋顶上排练的时间和每周在香槟晚餐俱乐部的演出之间，女孩们已经成为女人，拥有她们母亲无法想象的梦想的女人。
附近的环境也在发生变化：在菲尔莫尔周围，穿着西装的白人男子正在向黑人业主发出邀请。一个姐妹发现自己被要求进行反击，一个陷入了旧有关系的舒适之中，另一个渴望发出自己的声音。而一直保持着控制权的薇薇安将不得不面对她生活中可能分裂的部分：社区、救世会，甚至是她的家庭。
A Reese’s Book Club Pick
“An utterly original and brilliant story.” –Reese Witherspoon
A stunning novel about a mother whose dream of musical stardom for her three daughters collides with the daughters’ ambitions for their own lives—set against the backdrop of gentrifying 1950s San Francisco
At home they are just sisters, but on stage, they are The Salvations. Ruth, Esther, and Chloe have been singing and dancing in harmony since they could speak. Thanks to the rigorous direction of their mother, Vivian, they’ve become a bona fide girl group whose shows are the talk of the Jazz-era Fillmore.
Now Vivian has scored a once-in-a-lifetime offer from a talent manager, who promises to catapult The Salvations into the national spotlight. Vivian knows this is the big break she’s been praying for. But sometime between the hours of rehearsal on their rooftop and the weekly gigs at the Champagne Supper Club, the girls have become women, women with dreams that their mother cannot imagine.
The neighborhood is changing, too: all around the Fillmore, white men in suits are approaching Black property owners with offers. One sister finds herself called to fight back, one falls into the comfort of an old relationship, another yearns to make her own voice heard. And Vivian, who has always maintained control, will have to confront the parts of her life that threaten to splinter: the community, The Salvations, and even her family.
