The Suitcase tells the story of James Evans, a lifelong educator and philanthropist from Wadesboro, North Carolina. When Mr. Evans passes away from COVID-19, his nieces-with the help of a family friend-find an old suitcase inside his home. What they discover inside the suitcase helps them piece together a remarkable history and teaches them life lessons they could never have learned in a classroom. Based on a true story, author Irene Harrington uses genealogical research and interviews with family and friends to recreate the compelling story of a generous and kind man who left an indelible mark on his family, community, and the students he served and loved during more than 50 years as a teacher and principal. Irene Hailey Harrington is the author of Coley Hill, A Churchman's Confession, A Call Worth Answering and The Apple Tree. One of ten children of Will and Olivia Hailey, she is a native of Wadesboro, North Carolina who credits her love of writing to learning from her elders. She writes historical fiction to pass along this knowledge to younger generations so it will never be lost.

The Apple Tree tells the story of Lucius William Hailey and his wife, Olivia, who planted an apple tree on their land in the community of Coley Hill in Wadesboro, North Carolina many years ago. Told from the viewpoint of "Mr. Will" (as he was called by friends and neighbors), The Apple Tree is based on a true story of how a simple act of planting, growing, and harvesting apples yielded life-long lessons of faith, family and friendship that remain to this day.
