He doesn\u2019t lack in fathers to study, chief among them his Black grandfather, Pop. But there are other men who complicate his understanding: his absent White father, Michael, who is being released from prison, his absent White grandfather, Big Joseph, who won\u2019t acknowledge his existence, and the memories of his dead uncle, Given, who died as a teenager.<\/p>\n His mother, Leonie, is an inconsistent presence in his and his toddler sister\u2019s lives. She is an imperfect mother in constant conflict with herself and those around her. She is Black and her children\u2019s father is White. She wants to be a better mother but can\u2019t put her children above her own needs, especially her drug use. Simultaneously tormented and comforted by visions of her dead brother, which only come to her when she\u2019s high, Leonie is embattled in ways that reflect the brutal reality of her circumstances.<\/p>\n When the children\u2019s father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids and a friend into her car and drives north to the heart of Mississippi and Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At Parchman, there is another thirteen-year-old 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 and sons, about legacies, about violence, about love.<\/p>\n Rich with Ward\u2019s distinctive, lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing <\/i>is a majestic and unforgettable family story and \u201can odyssey through rural Mississippi\u2019s past and present\u201d (The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/i>)..
