Memorial Drive - A Daughter's Memoir

Flexible returns
One of Barack Obama's Best Books of 2020.
A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedy. With penetrating insight and a searing voice that moves from the wrenching to the elegiac, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Natasha Trethewey explores this profound experience of pain, loss, and grief as an entry point into understanding the tragic course of her mother's life and the way her own life has been shaped by a legacy of fierce love and resilience.
