*“I understood the entire process,” said Dr. Kerri Moseley-Hobbs about using her experience in the entertainment business, as a former model/actress and current manager of a multi-award winning SAG/AFTRA actor/filmmaker, during the process of producing the audio book version of her printed creative nonfiction book “More Than a Fraction: Based on a True Story” (Imagination Lunchbox). “I did the auditions myself. I listened to the auditions of not only their voices but their ability to act and separate the characters in the book.”
Dr. Moseley-Hobbs’ book is based on the documented evidence she obtained on her ancestors during a search. Her search uncovered a remarkable tale of the human-will to be free and respected as a human being. Her search ended on the campus of Virginia Tech and University where her ancestors were shipped from West Africa to America as an enslaved people to work at the estates of the Preston family (Smithfield and Solitude plantations) located in Blacksburg, Virginia. One of the last surviving Prestons donated their land (Smithfield) to establish a college (Virginia Tech), and then later on his brother donated his land (Solitude) to expand the college (Virginia Tech University). At the same time that she was looking for her ancestors, the Fractions, Virginia Tech was looking for decedents of the Fractions.
