Ketty’s memoir, KETTY LESTER: A MEMOIR: From Arkansas to Grammy-nominated Love Letters to Little House on the Prairie, is the story of how a young girl from Hope, Arkansas, the youngest of fifteen children, not only opened many doors for many African-American women, both as a recording artist and as an actress, but overcame many obstacles throughout her life, including a recurring battle with epilepsy. KETTY LESTER: A MEMOIR is available at Amazon.com and wherever books are sold online. For our listeners in L.A., you can meet Ketty Lester on Sunday 2/20 at the Hollywood Heritage Museum, 2100 N.
