Louis Armstrong is iconic to the world — a symbol of musical genius, unparalleled success, and unassailable character.


To Sharon, he was simply Dad.


Armstrong’s wholesome, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man's world. Yet he was more than a caricature; he had desires, and longings, and in private, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.
