Trouble Don't Last
Not long ago at a book signing, a young reader recommended Shelley Pearsall's book, Trouble Don't Last. I always try to read what kids suggest. Sometimes it takes we a while, since I get so many book recommendations.
I was initially not very enthused about the book when I found the subject was the Underground Railroad. The topic has been written about so much that I feared I would be bored. However, I was pleasantly surprised with Ms. Pearsall's book. It is a compelling story, carefully research with a wonderful command of significant historical details.
