What could be MORE mysterious than the life of Jim Limber? An African-American orphan who joined Jefferson Davis' household in 1864, Jim lived in circumstances difficult to imagine today. The story balances events which changed the nation forever with well-told personal stories of real people caught in the whirlwind of events. The book also presents "alternate endings" to continue the legacy of this mysterious figure.
