title: Sing, Unburied, Sing: A Novel
author:  Jesmyn Ward 
description: <strong><a href="//www.amazon.com/b/?node=390919011">An Amazon Best Book of September 2017:</a></strong> A slamming, heartbreaker of a novel that is rendered with such stinging beauty and restrained emotion that despite the anguish taking place on the page, you wont want it to end. For her third novel, National Book Award winning Jesmyn Ward, tells the story of Jojo, a young black Mississippi boy raised by his grandparents, who is forced to become a man far before he should because his mother is a drug addict, his father is in jail, and his baby sister needs a guardian. When Jojos dad is released from prison, Leonie packs Jojo and Kayla in the car, picks up her meth addled friend and drives north. What transpires is a nightmarish journey that weaves in and out of the present  Leonies meth induced highs, when she dreams of her dead brother who was killed by white hands decades ago, and the past -- when a man named Ritchie served time alongside Jojos grandfather. <em>Sing, Unburied, Sing</em> shimmers with mythic southern memories to tell a story of the drugged and the damned and the fluttering promise of youth. <em>--Al Woodworth</em>
