Gather Together in My Name by Tracy Price-Thompson

Gather Together in My Name (Atria) by National Bestseller and Award-Winning Author, Tracy Price-Thompson is my Featured Book of Color Pick of the Day.

Gather Together is about a character named Shyne who is one in a set of triplets born into poverty. He is sort of the bad seed of the three of them and chooses a life of negativity. He embodies the negative stereotypes of the Black American men you see on TV. His destructive life leads him to death row but on the eve of his execution, the convergence of events reveals a secret he’s been carrying that could very well change his fate and that of all those around him.

Thompson is a vibrant author whose background as a Desert Storm veteran and retired army officer adds depth to her writing.

Jeff Rivera is the author of Forever My Lady and the founder of Gumbowriters.com.
