![Blood: A Memoir by Moorer, Allison]()
The Grammy- and Academy Award- nominated singer-songwriter's haunting, lyrical memoir, sharing the story of an unthinkable act of violence and ultimate healing through art 1986, Mobile, Alabama. A fourteen-year-old girl is awakened by the unmistakable sound of gunfire. On the front lawn, her father has shot and killed her mother before turning the gun on himself. Allison Moorer would grow up to be an award-winning musician, with her songs likened to "a Southern accent: eight miles an hour, deliberate, and very dangerous to underestimate" (Rolling Stone). Now, Allison turns her lyrical storytelling powers to recount the events leading up to the moment that forever altered her own life and that of her older sister, Shelby, with whom she shares an unbreakable bond. Gorgeously written, Blood delves into the meaning of inheritance and destiny, shame and trauma -- and how it is possible to carve out a safe place in the world despite it all. With a foreword by Grammy winner Shelby Lynne, Blood is a familial Just Kids that reads like an intimate journal -- vivid, haunting, and ultimately life-affirming.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Allison MoorerPublisher: Da Capo PressPublished: 10/29/2019ISBN: 9780306922688Pages: 320Weight: 0.95lbsSize: 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.30dReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 06/03/2019Library Journal 06/21/2019 pg. 1Booklist 08/01/2019 pg. 14Kirkus Reviews 09/01/2019 pg. 87
