Autorenporträt

Growing up in the '60s, I loved to go to the library and dream of new worlds to explore. Back then, you had to locate books thru the card catalog system, which were thousands of index cards in a mammoth set of drawers. The most valued citation I ever received was a certificate from a library stating I was a member of the 'Look it Up Club' during a summer reading program. I was eight years old and was required to locate a series of books using the card catalog. I still have it 60 years later. My least-liked subject in high school was history/social studies. It was just plain bland. I could do the memorization part and made good grades, but the history as it was presented didn't interest me. I wrote this book hoping that the way I present history in this fictional novel will spark an interest in the young reader or parent to learn more about the history and causes of racism in America, while also providing a source of hope that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
