Lottie Scott Books For Sale

Posted on April 30, 2023 by Norwich

We are selling Lottie Scott’s two books, Deep South – Deep North: A Family’s Journey and Waiting for Kitty.  Books are priced at $15 each and can be purchased at Reception.

Deep South – Deep North: A Family’s Journey is Lottie and her family’s story of growing up in racially-charged and impoverished South Carolina.  Under the cloud of racial discrimination, difficult farm working conditions, and family tensions, Lottie describes the unbreakable bonds of love that eventually emerged to forever bind her family members together.

Waiting for Kitty is a children’s book.  The book recalls stories from Lottie’s childhood growing up in Longtown, South Carolina.  Waiting for Kitty can be use by parents to help talk to their children about racism and develop understanding about growing up in a different culture.
