Description
Zibby interviews English professor and author Cassandra Jackson about The Wreck, a luminous, lyrical, anguished, and wise memoir about her quest to understand a family secret–a car crash that killed her father’s mother, sister, sister-in-law, niece, and first wife before she was born. Cassandra describes what her childhood was like, not knowing what had happened, and then explains how, years later, she put the tragedy together, piece by piece. She was shocked by how little she really knew about race and segregation in America – from colored ambulances to segregated obituaries. She also talks about her journey with infertility and the appalling, inhumane way she was treated by medical professionals.
