Brother to a Dragonfly: 25th Anniversary Edition Book

This memoir narrated by Will, tells the story of he and his older brother Joe Campbell, who grew up similarly in a very close knit but impoverished family in Mississippi , who grew up to become very different men. As young men , Will becomes a leader as a Baptist Minister, while Joe struggles as a pharmacy worker who loses his way , in an America which is deeply embroiled in the civil rights movement. A story for those who love Southern Lit ( me ) and are interested in the underpinnings of the early civil rights movement ( where I felt the book got a touch bogged down) . It is still an interesting and endearing tale of the almost mythical power of brotherly love. 3.5 stars
