ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, tells the story of a Black family in rural Mississippi grappling with the pain and legacy of their past. The story follows Jojo, a young boy, his drug-addicted mother Leonie, and his little sister Kayla as they embark on a journey to pick up Jojo’s father Michael from prison. Along the way, the family is haunted by the presence of ghosts, both literal and metaphorical, including the ghost of a boy named Richie from his Pop's past. The narrative explores the complex bonds of family, the impact of racism and incarceration, and the weight of history on the present. The novel blends realism with elements of the supernatural, creating a haunting and powerful tale.
