Sing unburied sing jojo6/22/2023 Jojo has inherited the psychic abilities that run in his family. Leonie wants to be a mother to her children but completely lacks the ability to put them first in her life. Told from the alternating perspectives of Jojo and Leonie, Sing, Unburied, Sing plunges the reader into the vivid interior world of the main characters. Not only does Jojo have to care for a sick toddler and protect her from the irresponsible adults around them, he also has to deal with the hungry ghosts who have attached themselves to his family down the generations, and the deeply embedded racism of the American South that has blighted the lives of his family for generations. Now his mother Leonie is back, and insists on dragging the children with her on a road trip north to pick up Michael on his release from prison. His grandparents have done a fine job of raising him, but his grandmother is dying, and he has his little sister Kayla to look after. Blessed with parents like his feckless, drug-addicted mother Leonie, and his meth-cooking father Michael, the boy doesn’t have much choice. Thirteen year old Jojo is trying hard to grow up in the Mississippi Delta.
