Tara M. Stringfellow has lived all over the world, but her debut novel “Memphis” — the TBA’s third quarter book club selection — is about as Memphis as a book can be, the Commercial Appeal writes. Stringfellow says the book “is an ode to my city and the Black women living in it … and my declaration that our lives — our beautiful, rich, full Black lives — matter so very much." Stringfellow, who was a lawyer in Chicago before moving to Memphis, now focuses on her writing full time. Her next book will be a collection of poems. Read more about her life story.
