As an adult, I learned this: persist. Work hard.
Face rejection, weather the setbacks, until you meet the gatekeeper who will
open a door for you.
Jesmyn Ward grew up in a poor, rural community in Mississippi. Today, as the
first woman to win the National Book Award twice, she is celebrated as one of
America's greatest living writers.
Navigate Your Stars is a stirring reflection on the value of hard work and the
importance of respect for oneself and others. First delivered as a 2018
commencement address at Tulane University, it captures Ward's inimitable voice
as she reflects on her experiences as a Southern black woman, addressing the
themes of grit, adversity and the importance of family bonds.
Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this is a meditative and profound book
that will inspire all readers preparing for the next chapter in their lives.
