By

As an adult, I learned this: persist. Work hard.

Face rejection, weather the setbacks, until you meet the gatekeeper
who will open a door for you.

Jesmyn Ward grew up in a poor, rural community in Mississippi.

Today, as the first woman to win the National Book Award twice,
 she is celebrated as one of America's greatest living writers.

Navigate Your Stars is a stirring reflection on the value of hard

work and the importance of respect for oneself and others. First
delivered as a 2018 commencement address at Tulane University, it
captures Ward's inimitable voice as she reflects on her experiences
as a Southern black woman, addressing the themes of grit, adversity
and the importance of family bonds.

Beautifully illustrated in full colour, this is a meditative and

profound book that will inspire all readers preparing for the next
chapter in their lives.
