“Every life deserves a certain amount of dignity, no matter how poor or damaged the shell that carries it.”
The extraordinary gifts for evocation and insight and the stunning talent for storytelling that earned Rick Bragg a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1996 are here brought to bear on the wrenching story of his own family’s life. It is the story of a violent, war-haunted, alcoholic father and a strong-willed, loving mother who struggled to protect her three sons from the effects of poverty and ignorance that had tainted her own life. It is the story of the life Bragg was able to carve out for himself on the strength of his mother’s encouragement and belief.
Read Alikes for All Over But the Shoutin’: Ava’s Man by Rick Bragg; Change Me into Zeus’s Daughter by Barbara Robinette Moss; Running on Red Dog Road: And Other Perils of an Appalachian Childhood by Drema Hall Berkheimer
