My wife, Neta, and I are authors of over 120 books, including the Trailblazer Books for young readers and Hero Tales for families. But in recent years we have been doing adult fiction based in Chicago and known as Windy City Stories. They include the Yada Yada Prayer Group series, the House of Hope series, the Harry Bentley series, the Sold-out Sisters series, and the Windy City Neighbors series.

Most recently, I've released a romantic suspense novel, "Flying Blind."

We live in the Chicago area. Our son is the VP of Design for the Milwaukee Museum, and his wife is the pastor of Living Water Community Church in Rogers Park. Our daughter is the Access/Career Specialist for the Disability Resource & Educational Services at the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana, and her spouse is the physical education teacher in a local Champaign school.

On Sunday mornings you will usually find us in church. On Tuesday evenings at our respective men's and women's Bible studies. And on Wednesday evenings, we serve in the local food pantry. Most mornings we hit the local senior fitness center. Except when the weather's good, then you might find me working in my vegetable garden. I have been known to brag about it!

Sad history about how humans can dehumanize others made in the same image. But also encouraging that not all people are cruel.

Read it as a family. I was crying through several parts. The kids were learning about a very different
lifestyle of that time. They were learning about the fascinating Harriet Tubman. It was education for
me and my husband as well. We all loved the book.

It's hard for us in the 21st century to imagine a life of slavery. A great book showing what determination can do!!

Good historical fiction about a slave girl.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2005

Twelve-year-old Rosebud Jackson has lived her whole life as a slave on a Maryland plantation. But with her family beside her, it hasn't been so bad. That all changes in the spring of 1853. Her older brother, Isaac, tries to run away, but is caught and sold away to the deep south. Her mother gives birth to a stillborn baby and dies soon after. Then Rosebud's father decides to escape to freedom, but Rosebud must stay behind to give him more time to get away. He promises to return for her that fall, but instead, Harriet Tubman comes, saying she will lead Rosebud to freedom, where she can be reunited with her father. But the escape north is long and dangerous, and Rosebud begins to wonder if she will ever be free, and ever see what is left of her family again.

This was a good historical novel for young readers that brought to life the terrible hardship of slavery and how it tore families apart. Rosebud is a very sympathetic character who at a young age goes through so much hardship and tragedy yet manages to hold on to her hope and faith. I recommend this book to readers who like to read historical novels about this era.

Would highly recommend but perhaps read it first...

Arrived today and I had some time so decided to have a pre-read before sharing with my children as a family read aloud: couldn’t put the book down! I think I will be staying up tonight to read another by the authors. Fact is beautifully woven in with fiction and the story is well-written. There are some lovely descriptive passages that will be perfect for copywork and many themes that we will be able to explore together. The Jackson’s (the authors) kindly have made a full accompanying lesson plan and discussion notes available on their website. I purchased the book as one of many to accompany The Story of the World Vol. 4 by Susan Wise Bauer and am thoroughly looking forward to reading more titles by them as this was my first. Next in the book pile are their books about Florence Nightingale and Livingstone, which will also tie in beautifully with our social and character studies. Although a Christian series, I believe that this book would also be enjoyed by non-Christian families as any references to belief are entirely within context and aid understanding. One cautionary note: the ‘n’ word is used in passing and that is a term that we would certainly not use in our household. Some characters die and there is some violence - I would preread if you have sensitive children: it offers positive talking points and is portrayed well, in my opinion but might not be appropriate for younger family members. Otherwise, this is a gentle yet truthful introduction to Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad and an excellent springboard for further study. The cover sparks interest - my eldest has already picked it up - and there are black and white illustrations. The font is good. Our copy has been printed by Amazon and has that strange grainy feel that their prints tend to have but we have no complaints - came promptly and I feel was reasonably priced given the enjoyment and learning that I know we will take from it. Thank you.
