Tombolo Books is honored to welcome Dr. Marcia E. Herman-Giddens to the bookstore to share her debut memoir, Unloose My Heart: Reckoning with the Twisted Roots of My Southern Family Tree, with our readers.

Unloose My Heart is a deeply personal memoir that unearths a family history of racism, slaveholding, and trauma as well as love and sparks of delight. With heartbreak, moments of grace, and an enduring sense of love, this memoir shines a light in the darkness and provides a model for a heartfelt reckoning with American history.

Herman-Giddens will be in conversation with local author of Making of A Racist: A Southerner Reflects on Family, History, and the Slave Trade, Dr. Charles Dew.
