Sing, Unburied, Sing

JoJo and his young sister, Kayla, live with their grandparents, Mam and Pop, in Mississippi. Their mother spends much of her time high and their father is in prison. There is a thread of mysticism that runs through the family which enables them to know native healing plants and to see ghosts. It's a sad story of poverty and racism and struggle and addiction, beautifully written.
