About the author
Walter Jones is an author from Chicago. In his Amazon author biography, he describes himself as the sixth child of Mary Louise Spillman and Russell Donald Jones Jr., and says he grew up in the Morgan Park and Chatham communities.
He also notes that the Spillman family was among the first African American families to settle in Chicago, owning homes and businesses and caring for their neighborhoods. That sense of family roots and local history appears to inform the perspective behind his writing.
