Saving Tom Black, a Western set in Arizona in 1888, is sure to please any reader, whether or not one likes Westerns. Follow Betsy DuBonnet as she escapes from the Orphan Train taking her West and embarks on one of the most adventurous escapades of her seventeen-year-old life. Befriended by a black porter who finds the blonde beauty hiding in a cattle car, he helps her disguise herself as a boy so she can travel alone more safely in the wild West. Her disguise as Tom Black fools few, however, especially Jake Silver, U.S. Deputy Marshal.

This story is funny, sad, tender, and action-packed. It's the first book in the Jake Silver Adventure Series.

Shirley Johnson of Mid-West Book Review had this to say: "Saving Tom Black is a story that is pure, yet exciting; tender, yet brimming with danger; sad, yet joyous. It is a story that will cascade you with emotions, and at the end leave you satisfied and smiling. This is one book I would be proud to keep in my personal library and recommend to young and old. This is a writer who knows how to get into your very heart with a true treasure of a read. Well done!"
