The book cover image is a black and white picture of a man, vale Rawlings, pictured in 1914. He is wearing a convict suit with broad arrows and a small cap. He stands next to a Daily Citizen newspaper billboard that bears the headline ' Rawlings to be set free'. Along the bottom of the book is a horizontal turquoise blue band with the name Elaine Pritchard in white type. Across the top of the book cover are the words 'Friendship, Love & Truth' and the subheading 'The Vale Rawlings Story' in turquoise blue typeface.

Here it is! The cover for my book on Vale Rawlings. Huge thanks to Tilley Bancroft for her design work. So excited! Next big book news will be the pre-Christmas publication date.
