Two-time National Book Award-winner Jesmyn Ward's third novel, Sing, Unburied, Sing, revolves around the trip taken by a Black woman and her two children to retrieve her white husband from jail, as well as the ghosts — that of the woman's brother, murdered at the age of 18, and the spirit of a boy who died while he was imprisoned with her father years before — who haunt them along the way.
