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.

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.

The first work of character-driven nonfiction to passionately, lucidly, and sensitively explore the legal practice of medical assistance in dyingThe Day I Die is a major work of nonfiction that tackles the one issue we'll all eventually come to face―our final days, hours, and minutes.

In intimate, lyrical detail, Hannig explains why someone might choose an assisted death and how that decision impacts their loved ones. In a time when nearly 80 percent of Americans die in hospitals and nursing homes, medical assistance in dying could transform the way we die for the better, allowing more people to define the terms of their own death.
