Memorial Drive
A Daughter's Memoir
Natasha Trethewey
"Memorial Drive" is a memoir that delves into how the author's teenage years were upended when her former stepfather killed her mother.

She reflects on her own upbringing as a "child of miscegenation" in Mississippi and her mother's history in the deeply segregated South. This book is an intimate portrayal of pain, loss, and resilience.
