Message from the Publisher:
By Her Side – Until the final moment.
Falcon Creek Publishing Company is honored to publish Elaine Eason Steele’s autobiography, By Her Side. The title of this long-awaited book can be taken literally. Not only was Ms.Steele by Mrs. Parks’ side for 45 years, but she was also there by her bedside when she took her final breath and transitioned to Glory. So this ‘life journal’ is told from her unique vantage point, unavailable to authors of any other books on Mrs. Rosa Louise Parks, the mother of the modern civil rights movement.
Elaine Eason Steele, daughter of a Tuskegee Airman father and a Spelman graduate and educator mother, now shares her life-changing journey with the world. She makes clear that By Her Side is not your conventional autobiography. While it tracks her life and tells of her growing up in Detroit, Michigan, with her younger, trailblazing sister, Anita, it is not a simple chronological account. Steele’s purpose in writing By Her Side is not to garner notoriety or compensation for herself but to put truth front and11By Her Side center; to destroy the countless myths and untruths regarding Mrs. Parks’ life, especially following the historic events of December 1, 1955.
