"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 U.S. Deputy Marshal 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. Jere D. James is a writer that knows how to get into your very heart with a true treasure of a read." Shirley Johnson, MidWest Book Review
