Anne struggles to bring meaning in a world that seems to be filled with hatred and violence. She must rely on her own courage and the generosity of others to survive.
ArtsPower’s MY HEART IN A SUITCASE is a gripping, poignant, and dramatic tribute to the power of love and the strength of the human spirit to triumph over unimaginable hardship.
