That Woman by Anne Sebba
“In a love story that shook the world, Edward VIII of England sacrificed his birthright for a twice-divorced commoner, the bewitching Wallis Simpson (“That Woman”). The author lends compelling explanations of how a King could give up status and wealth for love and why an ambitious woman could allow him to do so.”

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
“In 2005 after Hurricane Katrina hit, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a New Orleans contractor and house painter, spent a week rescuing people, feeding trapped pets and trying to preserve the homes of his customers. Then suddenly he was arrested and imprisoned as a terrorist by Homeland Security and it is at this point the simply written but truly eye-opening book points an unwavering finger at the choices our government made that victimized Zeitoun and other citizens many times over in the storms aftermath.”
