A powerful image, a powerfully true story

A 'story behind the story' of 'Letter from Alabama' is the compelling book cover created by  graphic designer Luis Prado of Olympia, WA. Luis is a true professional, and I was beyond happy when he agreed to create the cover for the book, as well as 3 maps that are important to the story. Luis read the manuscript, asked for copies of several old family photos, and went to work. His final creation was the result of his ingenious mind and how it processed several different photos. The fact that he made such strong images out of very small faces in 60-year-old snapshots shows his skill and meticulous eye for detail. To be honest, when I first saw his creation, I was startled. . . it was that powerful. I believe Luis got to the very heart of 'Letter from Alabama,' the true story of a little boy saved by grace and a family's love -- and by a letter. I will always be thankful that Luis invested himself in this story and this book. See his creation, and more, here: www.facebook.com/letterfromalabama

'A Solid 4.5 Stars' for Letter from Alabama

Here's a new Amazon reviewer's comment on 'Letter from Alabama' . . .

A SOLID 4.5 STARS!!
ByYankeelinon August 17, 2015

Format: Paperback

This is one of those books that works its way into your heart and just will not be dislodged...i found myself thinking about David and his brothers long after the reading was done.
In 1952 a woman in Alabama sends a letter to the editor of a newspaper in Dayton, OH in hopes that 1- someone will read and publish it and 2- that someone will identify the little boy left in her care.
And so his story begins. And flourishes. And spreads across the country.
The author sums it up best on one sentence...."it will become a lifelong lesson about the power of grace and acceptance-the capacity of open arms and an open heart to (transform) human relationships."Letter from Alabama: The Inspiring True Story of Strangers Who Saved a Child and Changed a Family Forever
