Recently I asked the author about what she was reading. Her reply:
Visit Gale Massey's website.I was recently blown away by Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing. The tone and lyricism in her storytelling, the strength with which she takes on the truth of our country’s history of racism is urgent and spellbinding. Elizabeth Strout’s My Name is Lucy Barton is another recent favorite. Both the writers are speaking to the impact of poverty on families – a theme close to my heart.
