Missouri's Memories

Missouri's Memories is the second in the trilogy of the Time Travels of Annie Sesstry, advancing the young time-travelers beyond America's Reconstruction era into the twentieth century. Annie, Emma, and Josh prepare for the National Museum of African American History and Culture grand opening when the winds of history catapult them to the past once again.



Encountering their fourth generation great grandmother, Missouri McElmurry Calhoun on her 50th wedding anniversary reminiscing about her life, surprise and adventure await her descendants as they continue their search for an unknown ancestor brought to the shores of a fledgling nation generations earlier. An unexpected companion joins the young adventurers this time, blending the sweet marvels of coming of age with the challenges of navigating unfamiliar exploits. The remnants of the Red Summer and the impediments of Jim Crow once again expose the children to history lessons never imagined.
