The Daughters' Baggage

Every piece of baggage carries the tales of the lives it has touched. Aaliyah Johnson just wants to live a normal life - finish school, have a career, a family, a future. But when her father takes his own life after his return from the war in Afghanistan, she and her mother are plunged into poverty and a homeless struggle to survive. The unusual circumstances of her mother's acquisition of a small, green suitcase seem to mark a turnaround in their luck as they begin to rebuild their lives. Then, in a heartbeat, a devastating blow rocks her world, and young Aaliyah's baggage may be more than she can bear.
