Now in paperback, this powerful memoir by the award-winning novelist of Salvage the Bones is part cultural narrative of Southern life in DeLisle, Mississippi, and part critique of a society plagued by poverty and racism. Primarily, however, this is an elegy for five black men Ward knew and loved. She celebrates their lives and laments the conditions that led to their deaths. (Bloomsbury)
