Joyce McFarland
Sugar in a Shoebox
Set in rural North Carolina in the
1950’s - 1960’s, the South was
plagued with resistance to integration. It was a place still consumed
with overt racism, shameless displays of prejudice and the exhausting fight of the Civil Rights
Movement. These circumstances
sha-ped the world around most,
but a young girl with a passion for
life shined a bright light through
the darkest of times. Through the
eyes of a nine-year-old girl, she
shares her perspective on life, love,
Faith and family.
