In With Soul: Smashing Up a Phat Stupid Groove, new author Davi Phillips delivers a frenetic pace and a sexually-charged tale of what it is really like and what it really takes to be dancers on
a hit show. Ambitious and savvy, Sherry is a light-skinned rich girl from Beverly Hills whose dancing is her way of shaming her mother into looking beyond the prim and proper niceties found on
easy street. For Jackie, a poor dark-skinned girl growing up on Adams and Crenshaw, the show is purely an escape from life in the hood. Initially, these two young and beautiful dancers knock
heads, but when the groove is on--the show will go on, with or without a few catfights and knock-down-drag-outs. As Sherry and Jackie discover a world where souls come in many colors, they
expose an ugly world of black on black racism that cuts two sisters down so that one is the sum of the other and one will have nothing left to lose.
