About the Author J.
The soaring narratives told in The Fruit of All My Grief let us feel the fears, hopes, and outrage of those living in the Shadows of the American Dream.
They include families and small businesses still recovering from the BP oil spill; the man sentenced to life in prison for transporting drugs to pay for the medical care that would 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.
His writing highlights the struggles and the dignity of people quietly fighting for their lives.
Malcolm Garcia lets the people he writes about speak for themselves.
