This month on the Gulf Coast Life Book Club, we hear from two New York Times bestselling authors. Clint Smith visited former plantations, current prisons, Thomas Jefferson's home, and more to investigate America’s slave-owning past. His fascinating book is called How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America.
Gabriela Garcia’s novel Of Women and Salt traces five generations of women—from 19th century Cuba to present day Miami and Mexico. Garcia’s work as a migrant justice organizer influenced this vibrant book.
