REVIEW by Kola Boof
"Gather Together In My Name" by Tracy Price Thompson
5 Stars
This important new book by Hurston-Wright Award winner
Tracy Price Thompson is just...heartbreakingly...powerful.
Very nuanced and mathematical in the pacing.
I love Price-Thompson's writing when she goes into stuff like
this, because she really feels it, not just types it out.
This is the ...

A Woman's Worth: A Novel (Strivers Row)33 reviews
Tracy Price-Thompson
One World/Ballantine, 2005
THIS IS A WINNER!
It's been awhile since I've ordered a few books and rather than bore you with the same old rave reviews, I just have a few things to state. The book kept me up until my eyes could not take it anymore; The character Bishop in the book was fascinating. I won't go into details but the fact that it deals with FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) which is going on in certain tribes in Africa paints a ...

The Ghost in the House: Motherhood, Raising Children, and Struggling with Depression 13 reviews
Tracy Thompson
HarperCollins, 2006
Empowering
To the reader who was depressed by this book... depression is scary, especially to the person struggling with it everyday. If you have clinical depression, you can not make it go away be denying it is there. You must get out from under those covers and face it.
This book was so empowering to me because it showed that even when that seems like the impossible task you can still help your ...

Other People's Skin: Four Novellas 3 reviews
Atria, 2007
A Must Read
This was a really great book. It actually got me interested in researching the differences that black people had based on skin color, even in the past. I never knew that these differences were so prevalent even back then. My research has really opened my eyes to a whole new dynamic of the "differences" we feel within our own race. I am of mixed race and have felt a small degree of "racism" from ...

The Beast: A Reckoning With Depression38 reviews
Tracy Thompson
Diane Pub Co, 1995
One of the best books abot Depression I have ever read
This is a book from the inside out, meaning the author writes well about the subject because it comes from within. I have read several books about depression, and this is the one that has impressed me the most. Honest, well-written, and it tells it like it is. At times I found myself disagreeing with the author's actions (but who am I to judge) as if she was a character (see, it reads like a good ...

Black Coffee: A Novel87 reviews
Tracy Price-Thompson
One World/Ballantine, 2005
Black Coffee gives us a realistic and insightful intake of a Military relationship.
This is a second book that I've read that tells the story of the military woman of color, the first being "Knockin Boots" which was great. Tracy takes the reader to the front lines and allows the reader to experience sexism existed in the service and what African American women went through. Tracy also takes it a step further and allows realistic issues/family hardships to be the icing on the ...
