In Paper Dollhouse, Dr. Lisa Masterson traces her inspiring
life, heartfully retelling an upbringing that had her
resourceful and resilient single mother break away from
family in the segregated South to find new opportunities.
Like her daughter, Masterson's mother was a woman of beauty
and accomplishment, but in those early years, the two of
them faced discrimination, financial challenges and tumult,
moving every few months to avoid paying rent so that there
would be enough money for what her mother deemed most
important - her education.
