Joining Tom now is Naima Coster, the author of the New York Times best seller, What’s Mine and Yours, which has been chosen by Maryland Humanitiesas this year’s One Maryland One Book. That’s a program in which Marylanders all over the state read the same book, and have the opportunity to talk about it with other readers, and with the author.

Naima Coster’s novel explores the dynamics of family and community, and the divisions that course through the lives of sisters and their circle in a story that pivots from North Carolina to California, France, and elsewhere.

Ms. Coster will be appearing throughout the state next week, beginning this Sunday afternoon, when she’ll talk about What’s Mine and Yours at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture.

Naima Coster joins us today on Zoom from New York…
