Review "Engaging in its lyricism and piercingly honest . . . Alexander's voice is distinctive, fluid, and captivating. His keen sense and talent for dialogue; his narrative style, simple but profound; and his humor make Our Daily Bread compelling and irresistible." --Mohammed Naseehu Ali, author of The Prophet of Zongo Street"Alexander's characters stay with you long after reading the last page of Our Daily Bread, so much so that you miss them and find yourself wondering how they're doing in life. With dialogue so skillfully constructed that conversations feel as if they are being eavesdropped on rather than read, this story becomes a part of you." --Jill Sorensen, founder of Knock-Out Abuse About the Author Jackie Alexander was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.
