The Fruit of All My Grief by J Malcolm Garcia
Award-winning journalist J. Malcolm Garcia's essays highlight the struggle, survival, and endurance of average people affected by the injustices of America's remorseless institutions and public indifference. Families and small businesses still recovering from the BP Oil Spill. The man sentenced to life in prison for transporting drugs to save his son's life. The widows of soldiers who died, not in war, but from toxic fumes they were exposed to at their bases overseas. The Iraqi interpreter who was promised American asylum, only to arrive and be forced to live in poverty. The soaring narratives shed light on the fears, hopes, and outrage of those living in the shadows of the 'American Dream.'
