- of family bonds. Jojo is thirteen years old & trying to understand what it means to be a man. His mother, Leonie, is in constant conflict with herself & those around her. She is black & her children`s father is white. Embattled in ways that reflect the brutal reality of her circumstances, she wants to be a better mother, but can`t put her children above her own needs, especially her drug use. When the children`s father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids & a friend into her car & drives north to the heart of Mississippi & Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At Parchman, there is another boy, the ghost of a dead inmate who carries all of the ugly history of the South with him in his wandering. He too has something to teach Jojo about fathers & sons, about legacies, about violence, about love. Rich with Ward`s distinctive, lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first century America. It is a majestic new work from an extraordinary & singular author.
