Gathering Home by Vicki Marsh Covington is a quietly compelling coming-of-age novel that explores identity, family, and the meaning of belonging in the contemporary American South. Set in Birmingham, Alabama, the story follows Whitney Gaines, an adopted young woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father enters a congressional race and she begins searching for her biological roots. As Whitney reaches out to her birth family, she discovers new relationships that challenge her understanding of love, identity, and home.
