Crossing the Tracks is set in the railroad yards and union halls of Kansas City during the Civil Rights Movement. It's the surprising story of a white, working class family man confronting racism and bigotry on the railroad, in the neighborhood, and in his church.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the story of one man's, and by extension his entire family's, attempt to do the right thing in the face of overwhelming opposition.

“Crossing the Tracks is a true American novel, a work of art that values equality, dignity, and justice for all, arrived at by honest living and hard work to make ends meet... It's a Reviewer's Choice 2023 winner because it is courageous, well-written, and accessible; I have thought of the story and characters long after I finished reading the book.” ~ Feathered Quill, Rebecca Jane Johnson
