What We Say: “This memoir by Glory Edim – founder of Well-Read Black Girl, a platform and book club that champions the works of Black women authors – is an ode to the power of literature. Touching on family, community, resilience and the complexity and richness of the Black experience, it tells a heartfelt story of self-discovery through beloved reads. Any book lover will be moved and inspired by her beautiful words” – Katie Teehan, Editorial Director
What They Say: “Gather Me is a beautiful, deeply introspective, and tender journey. Edim is one of the most important nurturers of the Black literary tradition, and now she stands elegantly within it as a writer” – Mani Perry
