SUMMARY

Little Satchmo reveals the hidden daughter of Louis Armstrong: how one of Satchmo's dearest loves was also his closest secret. A story systematically left off the public record and a voice which for decades had been muted, this first-person account from Armstrong’s only known child lifts up parent-child relationships everywhere and gives an intimate glimpse into the human side of an American icon all too often foundered in caricature.
