BOOKS
Golden Poppies
by
Laila Ibrahim
It's 1894 Jordan Wallace and Sadie Wagoner appear to have little in common. Jordan, a middle-aged black teacher, lives in segregated Chicago. Two thousand miles away, Sadie, the white wife of an ambitious German businessman, lives in more tolerant Oakland, California. But years ago, their families intertwined on a plantation in Virginia. There, Jordan's and Sadie's mothers developed a bond stronger than blood, despite the fact one was enslaved and the other wad the privileged daughter of the plantation's owner.
With Jordan's mother on her deathbed, Sadie leaves her disapproving husband to make the arduous train journey with her other to Chicago. But the reunion between two families is soon fraught with personal and political challenges.
As the harsh realities of racial divides and the injustices of the Gilded age conspire to hold them back, the women find they need each other more than ever. Their courage, their loyalty and the ties that bind their families will be tested. Amid the tumult of a quickly changing nation, their destiny depends on what they're willing to risk for liberation.

by
Karen Robards
A world at war. A beautiful young star. A mission no one expected.
Paris, 1944
Celebrated star Genevieve Dumont is both a star and a smokescreen. Qn unwilling darling of the Nazis, the Chanteuse’s position of privilege allows her to go undetected as an ally to the resistance.
When her estranged mother, Lillian de Rocheford, is captured by Nazis, Genevieve knows it won't be long before the Gestapo succeeds in torturing the information out of Lillian that will derail the upcoming allied invasion. The resistance movement is tasked with silencing her by any means necessary-- including assassination. But Genevieve refuses to let her mother become yet one more victim of the war. Reuniting with her long-lost sister, she must find a way to navigate the perilous cross-currents of Occupied France undetected- and in time to save Lillian's life.

Where many paths and errends meet.
