Rosalie Turner's passion is sharing Civil Rights Movement history, and she has been a guest lecturer in schools, universities, and museums. She and her husband, as volunteers, lead week-long university and church tours to iconic civil rights places in Alabama and Mississippi, states in which they have lived. An endowed professorship at Texas A & M University-Commerce was named in their honor for their work in Race and Reconciliation.Turner's life has been centered around the importance of books and reading. In the several places they have lived, Turner has taught adult literacy, tutored in the schools, and set up summer reading programs in inner-city areas. She received the J.C. Penney Award for her summer reading program in inner-city Jacksonville, Florida. Turner and her husband live in Durham, North Carolina, and are the parents of three sons (the eldest lost to a rare leukemia at age ten) and six grandchildren.Layers of Truth is Rosalie Turner's fifth historical novel. Her previous novels include Freedom Bound, about former slave Anna Kingsley, which won the Florida First Coast Writers award; Sisters of Valor, the story of the Vietnam War years from a service wife's point of view, which won the Military Writers of America award; and March With Me, about the 1963 Children's March in Birmingham, Alabama, which won the IndieFab Book of the Year award and was a finalist in the USA Best Book Awards.
