Men We Reaped

Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A staggeringly honest memoir, MEN WE REAPED feels like a book to revisit year after year. Somehow Ward owns a story that, while specifically hers, illuminates our shared humanity, but also gently reminds readers that the nagging, relentless grief of growing up Black and poor in the American south is by design.
