Crystal Smith Paul's "Did You Hear About Kitty Karr?" is about the family, fame, and secrets surrounding the death of a beloved celebrity actress. Kitty Karr was a multimillion-dollar star, and when she dies, the last thing anyone expected was for her to leave her entire estate to equally famous Black actress Elise St. John and her sisters in her will. While going through Kitty's things, Elise uncovers a journal that harkens back to the earliest days of life in the segregated South, revealing family connections and damning secrets that threaten to upend everything Elise thought she once understood about herself, her family, and this woman she never knew.
