Getting Mother's Body
by Suzan - Lori Parks
it is a really decently written account of 1963 southern poor black trash... the leads mother was buried with jewels... a pearl necklace and a diamond ring... a supermarket is about to plow over her grave where the bulldagger that she lived with buried her with her own hands... her 16 year old daughter needs money for a 5 month abortion... so she is going to dig her up... ostensibly so that she isnt under a parking lot... actually because she wants the 'treasure'...
