Hardback. Condition: Good. A New & Noteworthy selection of The New York Times Book Review Alexis Clark illuminates a whole corner of unknown World War I 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 I 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 I; 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 I, 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. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. Tina Alexis Allen is the youngest of thirteen children brought up by a saintly mother and a strict Catholic father in the 1980s suburbs of Maryland. Her father, Sir John, was a formidable, charming, British-born man with the distinct honor of being knighted by the Pope. He ran a successful travel agency that catered to tours of the Holy Land and the Vatican that embodied the values of a good Catholic family. Unlike her devout father, Tina was a smart-mouthed high school basketball prodigy who kept her lesbian identity a secret from her family. When her father discovered her secret at age eighteen, he shocked her with his response: he, too, was gay. Sir John became a confidante for Allen, and her to him, but what began as a tender moment of trust and truth quickly spiraled out of control. Together, Allen and her father made pilgrimages to gay discos, experimented with drugs, and engaged in sex with their respective partners in public places, keeping their family in the dark all the while. Outside of their wild escapades, Sir John invited Allen to be his heir apparent at the travel agency. Under his wing, Allen grew suspicious of his frequent business trips, his multiple passports, briefcases of cash, and cache of illegal documents, and uncovered the stunning double-life of the father she thought she knew, secrets and all. Secrets of a Holy Father is the unbelievable true story of self-discovery, family, secrets, and the power of the truth.…
