Chapter 7: Creative Life Beautiful Struggle

My Name Is Sheba

Sheba’s early days at the orphanage. Her peculiarities, and the staff’s struggle to make her conform, and “fit in,” as a “normal” child. This chapter explores Sheba’s nature as a creative, how she sees the world, and the polarization that occurs when adults with opposing views, attempt to use Sheba to prove out their philosophical theories.

“My Name Is Sheba,” is the biweekly fictional saga of iconic jazz/R&B artist, Sheba Hawkins, who rose from obscurity as an orphan, to superstardom, and the music she created along the way. It’s also about the creative life, and the beautiful struggle… a different kind of story.
