Description
In this powerful memoir, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Rick Bragg turns his extraordinary storytelling gifts inward to chronicle the turbulent landscape of his own family's struggle. Born into poverty and shaped by a violent, war-haunted father battling alcoholism, Bragg's narrative centers on his mother's fierce determination to shield her three sons from the cycles of hardship and ignorance that had defined her own life. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, Bragg explores how his mother's unwavering love and belief in him became the foundation for his unlikely escape from the poverty that surrounded him. This is a deeply moving testament to resilience, redemption, and the transformative power of maternal devotion in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
