When thirteen-year-old Jojo’s father is released from prison, his mother packs the family into a car and drives north to Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary at the heart of Mississippi. At Parchman, Jojo encounters another thirteen-year-old boy, a specter who wanders the prison and carries with him the ugly history of the South—and a resounding lesson for Jojo about fathers and sons, legacies, violence, and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSing, Unburied, Sing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e journeys through Mississippi’s past and present, delivering an enduring, exquisite portrait of the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and how they both gnarl, and strengthen, family bonds.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eISBN: \u003cspan id=\"pd-product-id\"\u003e1501126075\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: May 8, 2018\u003cbr\u003ePage Count: 320\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Second Chapter Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67701321695601,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1097\/3297\/files\/71-bVelZz8L._SL1500.jpg?v=1791817804","url":"https:\/\/secondchapterbookstore.com\/products\/sing-unburied-sing-a-novel-by-ward-jesmyn","provider":"Second Chapter Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
