Tracy Price-Thompson (born 1963) is an American speaker, novelist, editor, and retired United States Army Engineer Officer.

It was quickly bought by Random House[1] imprint, Striver's Row, as part of an unprecedented three-book, six-figure deal,[2] and became a bestseller.

Price-Thompson went on to publish another weighty, socially conscious novel in Gather Together in My Name, which highlighted racial profiling, prosecutorial corruption, and the disproportionate application of the death penalty for minorities in the criminal justice system.

The work is encapsulated in the Library of The National Humanities Center in The Making of African American Identity Volume III under the theme "Overcome?

She also edited and contributed to two volumes in the Sister4Sister Empowerment Series: Other People's Skin,[10] with stories that sought to acknowledge, examine, and heal the "skin/hair thang" between Black women; and My Blue Suede Shoes, which empowered victims of domestic violence to walk away from abusive environments.
