What are the lives of America's richest families really like? Their nannies see it all...When Stephanie Kiser moves to New York City after college to pursue a career in writing, she quickly learns that her entry-level salary won't cover the high cost of living--never mind her crushing student loan debt. But there is one in-demand job that pays more than enough to allow Stephanie to stay in the city: nannying for the 1%. Desperate to escape the poverty of her own childhood and jump social classes, Stephanie falls into a job that hijacks her life for the next seven years: a personal assistant to toddlers on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

For readers of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Hidden Figures, What the Children Told Us tells the story of an iconic partnership that set the stage for decades of civil rights activismAs a young Black couple in the 1940s, Kenneth Clark and Mamie Phipps knew the devastating impact of segregation firsthand. But the Clarks revealed the true impact of segregation in a psychological study that would resonate for decades to come, in which they asked Black children which kinds of baby dolls they preferred: brown or white. Two-thirds of the children surveyed chose the white doll, and some even denied their own skin color.This is the story of the towering intellectual and emotional partnership between two Black scholars who highlighted the undeniable psychological effects of racial segregation. Paving the way for the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case and engaging in unrelenting activism over several decades, the Clarks' story is one of courage, love, and an unfailing belief th

The untold true story of the serial killer who terrorized Cape Cod and captivated a nationIn the winter of 1969, the bodies of four young women were discovered in a cemetery near the tip of Cape Cod. In a place once known as Helltown, the victims had been shot, stabbed, dismembered, and mutilated. As investigators would soon learn, the perpetrator was a young, handsome, serial killer named Tony Costa. A bizarre former taxidermist with a split personality and penchant for violence, Costa ultimately mobilized friends in the hippie community for support and retribution and captivated literary icons and rivals Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer. Costa embarked on a daring cat-and-mouse game with investigators, who―as the body count kept growing―were desperate to put an end to the killing season on Cape Cod.
