"It isn't often, but there are times, when a book has three elements in it: grace, charm and dignity, such is the character of this book. Set mainly in the state of Arizona, the year 1888, our story takes a young girl, a black man, and a Sheriff and merges them in a story so full of depth, unleashed emotion, and incredible perception and fortitude of the human spirit that it will not easily be forgotten. "Saving Tom Black," is a story that is pure, yet exciting; tender, yet brimming with danger, sad, yet joyous. It is one that will cascade you with emotions, and at the end leave you satisfied and smiling." Shirley Johnson, Senior Reviewer, MidWest Book Review.
