Historical Fiction
Growing up during the civil rights movement, fifteen year old Simone Westwood doesn't care about being part of history. She resents going to a recently integrated school where the kids target her. But when she meets Eli and Johnny Burr, two guitar playing, hip swaying Rockabilly teens, their lives become entwined in the novel JUKEBOX Volume One.
Simone's in awe when popular senior and soul music fan Eli Burr asks her to become his new singing partner. Their pairing comes with all kinds of complications, because an interracial duo, especially one with a boy and a girl singing love songs to each other is unheard of.
If that's not bad enough, the duo's fathers routinely clash over politics in their still segregated hometown.
While Simone and Eli's scorching hot vocals bring fame and devoted fans, they also receive death threats. As her career soars, Simone has to fight for the money and respect that Eli easily gets because he's a man. Eli realizes his dream of becoming a teen idol, but it's at the cost of hiding his true sexual orientation. And after his troubled younger brother writes their first number one hit, the lyrics reveal Simone's got a huge crush on one brother, while she's unable to resist the other.
In their journey to the top of the music charts, Eli, Simone and Johnny share acceptance, friendship and love. It's what happens to the trio once the music stops, and the media spotlight is on their unconventional relationship that will test their families and each of them. This book contains references to classic Country and R&B songs, dance styles and cultural attitudes of the 1960s. The sequel explores the 70s featuring the same characters popularity in Southern Rock, Funk, and Glam Rock.

This book has so much depth. It touches on topics like homosexuality, child rape, religion, racism and war. This book really speaks on today's issues and yet its not preachy. The way the issues are dealt with are realistic. The author was senative in how she handled Johnny and Simone's interracial relationship. You really get a sense of that era. In my mind I was able to picture the 50's and 60's. The ties that strengthen this book was how inter-connected the characters are.In the begining you wonder why Johnny is broding. His peers want to like him but he is distant. "Hint" a spoiler is coming--
Johnnny was raped as a child and was made to feel shamed. Futhermore his voice was silence and he was made to keep it a secret from his mother. His father, the preacher would only look at him as damaged goods. His first comments to the doctor was will he be normal? What's so ironic about that comment is that Johnny is as strait as they come; while Eli, the favor son struggles with his homosexuality. In times where parents didn't discuss sex you see the effects of closed society. This book really makes you think on so many levels. I am eagerly anticipating the Part II.

JUKEBOX Volume One edition by Camille Leone Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really enjoy the story and the characters. I can not wait for the next t book in this series.
Interesting historical romance set during the height of the US civil rights movement. The plot was great and even if you guess what's coming the twists and turns still make for a satisfying read. The characters were compelling, conflicted in all the best ways. The book could have used another round of editing, as some of the prose was confusing. Overall, it's a fun read and I'm looking forward to part two.
