"A New Yorker with a passion for trees, flowers and bugs, Ms. Sterling found many of her subjects while following up on questions about the natural world posed by her two children. While casting about for a biographical subject, she found inspiration in Tubman and her work for the Underground Railroad, which led to the groundbreaking 'Freedom Train' in 1954, as the civil rights movement gathered momentum."
William Grimes in The New York Times writes an obit for author Dorothy Sterling.
