The call that changed Benjamin Harris's life forever came in the middle of the night, informing him that his grandfather, who disappeared twenty-two years before, was dead. As he adored his grandfather while he was growing up, he was determined to find out more information, in hopes that he could finally understand why he suddenly and, without notice, vanished from his life. Ben's search for answers leads him across the country to an island near Seattle but was totally unaware that he was being drawn into a much-larger search to solve a mystery that has been ongoing for seventy-five years. As the Second World War was coming to an end, the Nazis attempted to reposition millions of dollars in diamonds stolen from Jewish merchants throughout Europe to their agents in Argentina. The box carrying the stones disappeared en route and have been missing ever since. Many people have been hunting for the hidden diamonds, claiming that they have a right to the stolen treasure for themselves while others have been hunting to find them and return the diamonds to the victims of the crimes. An agent of the Israeli government meets Ben, and together, as allies, find answers to both mysteries in a suspense-filled, dangerous journey leading them across international borders, in their desire to do the right thing. $21.9

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
