Description

If this little suitcase could talk...


...it would tell how this journey began, the journey of a family, navigating the system of Apartheid in South Africa, in a religiously diverse community, amidst racial tension and economic struggle. The sometimes hilarious, sometimes serious, and invariably thought provoking anecdotes shed light on times that seem long past, but in fact took place in very recent history. This suitcase would tell where the journey led, and how this family finally settled in Northern California.


Though this suitcase cannot talk, it still conjures vivid and lasting memories to be told to the generations that will follow in this strong, faith based legacy.


"People keep asking me why I was born in Africa, not in India. I jokingly answer: Because I wanted to be close to my mother."

-Rev. Samuel Moonsamy

About the Author
Moonsamy &. Family, Samuel: - With a literary bent, a knack for speaking and writing with a dose of humor, Rev Samuel Moonsamy started writing short stories in Apartheid South Africa in the 1950's. As a child in a large family with very little means, he would wait for his dad to arrive home with the used newspapers from the hotel, where his dad worked as a waiter. Samuel would climb onto the rooftop of his cramped home, with a lamp, eager to read every word on every page. It was here where his love for reading and writing blossomed. His dream was to someday publish his stories with the hope that it would have an impact on his world. He inspired his wife and children to share some of their stories too, resulting in a compilation of intergenerational vignettes spanning two countries from faraway continents. His hope is that more people will share their experiences so that the generations to come will not repeat past injustices and be raised in a changed world. Rev. Samuel Moonsamy and his wife, Sue, now reside in Oakland, California. They immigrated to the USA with 6 children in 1985. Their little family of 8 has now grown to a family of 17.
