In Ward’s childhood, food was often scarce. Ward’s mother became the sole provider, struggling to care for their four children alone. Her unfaithful father eventually left her mother and went off to have children with other women. Ward’s parents were both raised by single mothers. Women were often left with the pieces, saddled with worry and responsibility. ![]() Endemic poverty made life difficult selling and using crack often became a means of survival. The history of oppression, Ward writes, leads black men to seek “a sense of freedom or a sense of power that being a Black man in the South denied them” and contributes to “the tradition of men leaving their families.”īlack men often didn’t finish school.

I liked it when Kate took charge and took action against Cronus. I liked watching both Henry and Kate change. I liked a lot of things about Goddess Interrupted. I just love it when I can read two or more books in a series in a row, don't you? It makes the books so much more enjoyable when the events of the previous book are fresh on my mind.

I found myself relating to Polly as the hopeless and dramatic romantic pre-teen who sees the world through rose colored glasses.

But who can survive if they care about nothing? What is there to live for?
