In The First Last Concert by Dee Lorraine, Victoria Robbins is a black woman of faith and ambition in a world of powerful men – a corrupt politician, a tormented entertainer, and a retired boxer. Throughout this, she doesn’t lose her faith or her goal to be an award-winning writer. Her quest takes her to NYC, Paris, and Kuala Lumpur. Not even the COVID-19 lockdown can stop her. An inspirational story.
Her first challenge is as a speech writer for Senator Harkenbrook, where she is introduced to the darker side of political organizations and campaign financing.
Next, she works for “Killer” Cain Foxworth, the retired boxer and NYC publisher who never wants to hear “No” from anyone who works for him.
Her third job is a publicist for jazz pianist Zechariah bin Shukri, who is tortured by the lack of performing opportunities during COVID-19 and trauma in his past. She manages this job with her writing and envelopes of $100 bills.
Throughout this, she draws on her faith to keep pushing herself and others forward.
A surprising character is “The magnificent black [97 key] Bösendorfer 290 Imperial Concert Grand piano.”
