Salvage the Bones
by Jesmyn Ward
Buy on AmazonJesmyn is one of the most brilliant writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. When I first read this book about a young pregnant girl and her family as they faced Hurricane Katrina, I was not only blown away by her gift, but also by the fact that she, too, is a Black woman from Mississippi. So many of Mississippi’s well-known authors are old, white, or dead—and she is none those things, nor am I. Seeing her succeed showed me that maybe my own author dreams were possible.” -at
