Ward, Jesmyn2013
Books
In five years, Jesmyn Ward lost five men in her life, to drugs, accidents, suicide and the bad luck that can follow people who live in poverty, particularly black men. Dealing with these losses, one after another, made Jesmyn ask the question: why? And as she began to write about the experience of living through death, she realized the truth - and it took her breath away. Here, she bravely tells her story, revisiting the agonizing losses of her only brother and her friends.
