Suitcase Full of Dreams

Hoy Kersh is a songwriter and music performer living in the woods of Northern California. She has produced two albums and toured the country with reggae artists."This well-written book starts with Hoyland Kersh sharing her first memory of fear as her family whisks her off to another state, running for their lives from Klan members who have sworn to kill them. Ms. Kersh then tells the story of her early life: anecdotes about friends and family, the prejudices she faced, and the events that shaped her beliefs. This is a woman who lived through a tumultuous period in our nation's history and put her painful childhood memories on paper for the world. Her book should be required reading for high school and college students." -Luann Morgan, Reading Frenzy
