Bookmarks is proud to host the Winston-Salem chapter of the Well-Read Black Girl Book Club. Our Well-Read Black Girl Book Club discussions will always be hosted by women of color, but people of all colors and genders who would like to reflect upon the reading and writing of women of color are welcome. This month we will be discussing What’s Mine and Yours by Naima Coster, a sweeping novel of legacy, identity, the American family and the ways that race affects even our most intimate relationships.
