So many new authors debut every year, but have no fear – I’ve whittled the list down for you. I don’t know about all of you, but one of my very favorite things as a reader is discovering an author’s first book and telling everyone I know about it. I Am Yours is the first English-language memoir by a woman from Bangladesh that so powerfully explores the intersection of personal and political, for the sake of creating a world where all voices are welcome and respected. Moving from Bangladesh to Thailand, New York, and Oregon, it explores her struggles with racism, misogyny, abuse, and anorexia in incisive, poetic prose. I Am Yours tells of Reema’s unwavering fight to free her voice from those who have sought to silence her. Sponsored by I Am Yours: A Shared Memoir by Reema Zaman, from Amberjack Publishing.
