About this book
The story
Hal Jansen, a sensitive young man from a privileged background, drops out of college to pursue folk music in the 1960s. A chance encounter with blues prodigy Rudy Amos sparks an immediate, profound friendship that transcends the era’s racial divide. They begin writing songs as intimate letters, channeling their struggles into a shared artistic language.
Across decades, addiction, personal loss, and fractured marriages test their bond, yet their brotherhood endures. Nicole Cuffy presents the first volume in her historical fiction novel They Will Know Our Names, a moving portrait of friendship set against a changing America, celebrating the music that sustains two dreamers through life’s chaos.
