Summary: Zora's mama always told her that if she wanted something, "to jump at de sun," because even though you might not land quite that high, at least you'd get off the ground. So Zora jumped from place to place, from the port of the general store where she listened to folktales, to Howard University, to Harlem. And everywhere she jumped, she shined sunlight on the tales most people hadn't been bothered to listen to until Zora.
