The Edge of Dawn (25 page)
Authors: Beverly Jenkins
I hope you enjoyed Saint and Narice's story. Underground Railroad quilts and the fascinating part they played in the path to freedom are finally being recognized for their unique history and value. One of the best books I've found on the topic is
Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad,
by Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond G. Dobard, PhD. For readers who want to share the story of these quilts with the youngsters in their lives, please check out:
Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt,
by Deborah Hopkinson.
In closing, I'd like to give special thanks to Ava and Gloria for organizing another slam-dunk PJ Party, and to
Black Issues Book Review
for their support of this wonderful event. Keep reading everybody, and I'll see you next time.
