About the Author
Author Dale Evva Gelfand taught herself to read at the tender age of three. Clearly she was destined to be a wordsmith--and for some 30 years she has been happily plying her craft as a writer and a freelance book editor. On the writing side, she has authored YA books--biographies (ranging from historical legends to pop culture icons) and history--as well as a number of publications about creating and preserving wildlife habitat that all speak to her affinity for nature. She was also a contributing writer to several health-related reference books. As an editor, she has worked with major publishing houses on virtually every genre imaginable, from romances and Edgar Award-winning mysteries to cookbooks and guidebooks. When not reading pretty much anything she can get her hands on--especially of the history and arts variety--she can be found tending her gardens, hiking the woods with her lovable mutt (who co-exists with her two lovable cats far better than they co-exist with one another), and photographing the world around the upstate New York home that she shares with her significant other.
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-Rhodes covers little-known incidents in her subject's life as well as her better-known roles as speaker, singer, supporter of the holiday honoring her slain husband, and founder of the King Memorial Center. This is a mainly positive account but the author does mention the controversy surrounding King's actions in carefully guarding her husband's writings and speeches and her request for a new trial for the now-deceased James Earl Ray. King is portrayed as a committed and courageous person who has continued to fight for justice. The chapters are well organized and the clear, well-chosen black-and-white photographs are attractively presented.
