You Ain't Got No Easter Clothes

Summary

Singer/songwriter Laura Love is known for her "folk-funk" style of music. In this, her first written work, she focuses her talents on a poignant memoir of growing up in an extremely dysfunctional family during the 1960s. Shuffled from a mentally unstable mother to foster homes and orphanages and back again, Laura finds escape through her music. Heart wrenching and shocking, her story is also inspiring. "... searing account of a childhood lived on many fringes: the fringe of sanity, of racial identity, of society, of personal safety."-The Washington Post
