Like the silk map slipped from parachutist Franklin McMahon's sleeve offering escape from the German P.O.W. camp, daughter and author Margot, describes the astonishing world then flung upon him from 1945-2012. Her evocative words startle the reader to life, as we follow Franklin and Irene parents to a family of nine, immersed in a lifetime of struggle for social justice! They provoke us to confront truth via vivid pencil drawings, historic voice, faith and film in order to Resist and Answer: What have you done today for justice? --Kathleen Osberger, L.C.S.W., Chicago community organizer, activist and therapist
The true story of the later years of Franklin McMahon, artist-reporter for many powerful moments in U.S. History, from the Emmett Till Trial to the Apollo missions.

McMahon became an award-winning presidential artist, among numerous additional honors. This book is the final in a series by Franklin's daughter, Margot McMahon.
