An Appalshop project directed by John Malpede.

Roxanna's Letter to her Son
Image

"I've got to finish this business-contract for my boss. I really need this job. Maybe, if I have time, I can type my son Brandon a letter."

Dear Brandon, just a few words to let you know that I miss you immensely.

And also to tell you how proud I am of you for going to school, continue your education. And for breaking the family curse as far as the men in our family going to prison and to jails.

I just want to let you know Brandon, that I think we should get some family counseling. That way you can talk to someone about your problems and any hurt that I may have done to you in the past. I want our family to become whole again, and heal the pain that it may have.

By the way, when I get my check on Friday, I'll bring some money to buy you some school clothes. If you're not there I'll leave it with your grandmother. Love, Mam.
