An 8-year-old boy named Sonny is brought home to Brooklyn from Paris, to attend a concert in memory of his famous grandfather, the black jazz pianist Sonny-Rett Payne. With him is his guardian, Hattie Carmichael, Payne's old lover, who took the boy off to live with her in Paris after his mother abandoned him, and who has very mixed feelings about being back home. The novel travels back and forth between the family and community Sonny and Hattie left behind, and Payne's life as an expatriate in Paris, where he fled to escape the racism and family disapproval he experienced at home.
