A “New & Noteworthy” selection of The New York Times Book Review “Alexis Clark illuminates a whole corner of unknown World War II history.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci “[A]n irresistible human story. . . . Clark's voice is engaging, and her tale universal.” —Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power and American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House A true and deeply moving narrative of forbidden love during World War II and a shocking, hidden history of race on the home front This is a love story like no other: Elinor Powell was an African American nurse in the U.S. military during World War II; Frederick Albert was a soldier in Hitler's army, captured by the Allies and shipped to a prisoner-of-war camp in the Arizona desert. Like most other black nurses, Elinor pulled a second-class assignment, in a dusty, sun-baked—and segregated—Western town. The army figured that the risk of fraternization between black nurses and white German POWs was almost nil. Brought together by unlikely circumstances in a racist world, Elinor and Frederick should have been bitter enemies; but instead, at the height of World War II, they fell in love. Their dramatic story was unearthed by journalist Alexis Clark, who through years of interviews and historical research has pieced together an astounding narrative of race and true love in the cauldron of war. Based on a New York Times story by Clark that drew national attention, Enemies in Love paints a tableau of dreams deferred and of love struggling to survive, twenty-five years before the Supreme Court's Loving decision legalizing mixed-race marriage—revealing the surprising possibilities for human connection during one of history's most violent conflicts.

“Brave, honest, and necessary.”—Nancy Pearl, NPR Seattle Kayla Williams is one of the 15 percent of the U.S. Army that is female, and she is a great storyteller. With a voice that is “funny, frank and full of gritty details” (New York Daily News), she tells of enlisting under Clinton; of learning Arabic; of the sense of duty that fractured her relationships; of being surrounded by bravery and bigotry, sexism and fear; of seeing 9/11 on Al-Jazeera; and of knowing she would be going to war. With a passion that makes her memoir “nearly impossible to put down” (Buffalo News) Williams shares the powerful gamut of her experiences in Iraq, from caring for a wounded civilian to aiming a rifle at a child. Angry at the bureaucracy and the conflicting messages of today’s military, Williams offers us “a raw, unadulterated look at war” (San Antonio Express News) and at the U.S. Army. And she gives us a woman’s story of empowerment and self-discovery.

Ambitious and raw, Becoming Magic: A Path to Personal Reconstruction is Antuan Magic Raimone's chronicle of life as a performer in the most influential artistic feats of our time, such as 11x Tony Award-winning Hamilton and 4x Tony Award-winning In the Heights, over the course of his twenty-year career. But before magic, there was mayhem. Antuan endured childhood sexual abuse, along with the fragmentation of growing up without a father. His revelations about identity, intimacy, family, and ultimately, self-love and acceptance as a gay Black man, equally color a story of a dancer from Blue Springs, Missouri bound for Broadway as soon as he sung the first note in a high school production of Annie. Humanized and enlightened at every life stage by the relationships he forges and the courage to seek help, Antuan's journey is nothing less than magical. In an unsparingly blunt voice, he inspires readers to embark on their own path of personal reconstruction and soar to unimagined heights. With more than 20 years of professional performance experience, Antuan is currently with the Pulitzer Prize and 11x Tony Award-winning Hamilton as a Universal Swing, covering the six male ensemble members for the five U.S. companies. Additional credits include the 4x Tony Award-winning In the Heights (Broadway, Off-Broadway and First National Tour-Graffiti Pete U/S, Associate D/C and Vacation Swing), and six years with the Radio City Christmas Spectacular (Ensemble). His career as a performer has also allowed him to travel around the world once, visiting six out of the seven continents. Select Regional credits include Kiss Me Kate (Bill Calhoun/Lucentio, Paul, D/C), Hairspray (Seaweed U/S, Assistant Dir./Chor., D/C), Sweet Charity (Big Daddy Brubeck U/S), Smokey Joe's Café (Ken Ard), and Schoolhouse Rock LIVE (Willis). As an Assistant Choreographer, Antuan worked on the Second National Tour of In the Heights, as well as The Wizard of Oz, at both Starlight Theatre and the Fox Theatre. His Assistant Choreography work on Dreamgirls at Dallas Theatre Center with Rickey Tripp garnered them the first-ever Irma P. Hall Black Theatre Award for Best Choreography in 2016. He is a member of Actors Equity Association.
