Set mainly in Arizona in 1888, Saving Tom Black showcases a cast of Western characters that are truly memorable, from the adorable Betsy DuBonnet, a runaway from an Orphan Train who's searching for her mother, to Thomas Jefferson, a black porter who befriends the girl and assists in helping her disguise herself as a boy he names Tom Black, to a young, tough, newly appointed U.S. Deputy Marshal, Jake Silver. Their lives intertwine in unforgettable, remarkable ways. Add to this trio, a small cast of secondary, extremely well-drawn characters, and the makings of a terrific book are in order. And, as Shirley Johnson, Senior Reviewer for Midwest Book Review commented, even the animals take on captivating personalities. $17.00, includes shipping.
