ABOUT The Big Red Suitcase
“The Big Red Suitcase” by Margot Stornelli is a memoir rooted in curiosity, movement, and the quiet bravery it takes to follow a feeling before you fully understand where it will lead. The story opens on a symbolic moment, a flight across the pond on the day of her high school graduation, setting the stage for a life shaped by travel, change, and discovery.
