Who was Jim Limber?

    CHARLOTTE, NC, April 09, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Who was Jim Limber? Great question. Especially since his photograph is famous. The real mystery Deanna K. Klingel asks, is where did this child come from, and exactly where did he go? According to award-winning author Deanna K. Klingel, there's no record of him in any census, court document or even in an obituary. She should know. Klingel spent a year and a half researching Limber's life, which became her latest release, The Mysterious Life of Jim Limber, an intriguing historical fiction.

Jim Limber, rescued by Varina Davis, wife of the Confederate President, in Richmond, Feb. 1864. Named himself. Lived in the White House as a Davis, not as a slave, fled Richmond with the family and was even arrested with them in Georgia. It was on the gangway into the prison boat that Varina Davis gave him away to keep him safe. But what happened next? Questions that haunted Deanna, she sought to answer them for her fans. Klingel masterfully combines facts with the right amount of sensitivity to bring Jim Limber to life. Proving what we already know, historical fiction educates and entertains.

The non-fiction portion, based on the diaries and letters of Varina Davis, is a one-year biography. The second part, historical fiction, takes the reader through Limber's probable adolescence. And the final third is interactive, which is great for the classroom. Readers can choose an ending or create a plausible ending themselves. The Mysterious Life of Jim Limber is available from the Publisher, Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, author and other book retailers. Title available for wholesale discounts to schools, libraries, non-profits, retailers, and vendors through Progressive Rising Phoenix Press.
