As the twenties roared and the Harlem renaissance thrived, a female from rural Florida became the toast of literary New York. Jump at sunlight chronicles the passionate life of Zora Neale Hurston (author of “Their Eyes Are Viewing God”) who proceeded to go from spinning stories on leading porch of the country shop, to writing prize-winning stories, books and has. Imbued using the rhymes and rhythms from the Jazz Age group, Hurston’s story uncovers a female’s ferocious hunger for life, books and love.
