"For 30 years, the Ammons Sisters have performed for the general public and in school settings. As Amy tells the stories, Doreyl spontaneously illustrates them on two large 4' x 6' easels, bringing the stories alive before the eyes of the audience. "All the stories are based on true experiences of our family," says Amy. "My sister and I are carriers of our heritage, hoping to instill in our audience the knowledge that we are all different, yet wonderful in our own way; that 'story' is a way to preserve and honor our past to help us know we are each a link to the future of the family of mankind!"--Provided by publsher.
