The Fruit of All My Grief: Lives in the Shadows of the American Dream Audiobook (Free)

Real-life tales of Us citizens living within the edge of survival, beyond your bright lights of the media.

Award-winning journalist J. Malcolm Garcia’s essays focus on the struggle, survival, and endurance of average people affected by the injustices of America’s remorseless mammoth establishments and public indifference. They include families and small businesses still dealing with the BP Oil Spill; the person sentenced to life in jail for transporting drugs to save lots of his son’s existence; the widows of troops who died, not really in war, but from toxic fumes they were exposed to at their bases abroad; as well as the Iraqi interpreter who was guaranteed American asylum, only to arrive and be forced to reside in poverty. The soaring narratives informed in The Fruits of All My Grief why don’t we feel the fears, hopes, and outrage of these surviving in the shadows from the ‘American Dream.’
