The Mystery of the Old Brown Suitcase Patricia E. Topakian

The Mystery of the Old Brown Suitcase by Patricia E. Topakian is a heartwarming story of a hope, a dream and a tattered brown suitcase, all of which a young boy carries as he made his way to freedom against an oppressive communist regime in Bulgaria. Now, over two decades later he shares the story of his flight with his two young daughters and son. At once heartwarming and powerful, this biographical tale, written for adolescents, will inspire and serve as a timely treatise on xenophobia and a timeless lesson on courage.
