<p>Rachel Landrum Crumble's hard-won collection of faith and doubt <strong><em>Sister Sorrow</em></strong> traces a lifetime of decoding a childhood with a beautiful artistic schizophrenic mom experiencing otherness through international travel becoming a Yankee transplant to the South marriage as a white woman in 1981 to a Black man and raising biracial children in Chattanooga TN in the 80's and 90's. It explores cycles of depression and grief over her mother's suicide and how although recursive grief can also lead to wisdom and a deepening capacity for joy. <strong><em>Sister Sorrow</em></strong> embraces the awkward and the ridiculous as essential aspects of our humanity.</p><p><br></p>
