Testing Ground My first Kindle e-book is ready for you to download at Amazon! It's a historical novel set in the North during the Civil Rights era (1968). The focus is on the friendship between Debbie, a sixth grader, and a new girl - the first black girl at school. Can one friendship and two brave girls make Martin Luther King's dream come true? |
