When Innocence Dies in the Room Where Grandmothers Sleep
A small boy stands in a Louisiana bedroom, watching his great-grandmother Mam' Grace take her final breath. He thinks it's her birthday party. When she dies, his mother runs outside screaming, throwing herself to the ground near the hog pen. The boy-too young to understand death but old enough to sense its weight-shoos away the hogs trying to lap at his mother's hair. This is Charles M. Blow's first memory: death, grief, and a child's instinct to protect what he cannot yet comprehend. Years later, in that same sacred room, another kind of death will occur-not of the body, but of innocence itself. This memoir doesn't just recount trauma; it excavates the architecture of survival, showing how we construct selves from the rubble of what breaks us.
