Abstract
For my thesis, I have created a family memoir about my family’s summers spent on Mobile Bay in Mobile, Alabama. Through interviews with family members, research of photographs, and delving into my own memories and experiences during my childhood, I have resurrected this past existence we had on the Bay and brought it to life once more through my thesis. The memoir is meant to be a journey through death that culminates in an unexpected discovery of life. By reexamining this past part of my life that I thought was dead, as well as the literal deaths of my grandmother, grandfather, and first cousin, and the metaphorical death of the Bay when my grandmother sold our house, I will create an unusual path of self-discovery and meaning within a web of memories that will provide the foundation for the journey.
