"The Woman Who Knew Gandhi,"
by Keith Heller
Based on an aside in Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, in
which he mentions a brief but seductive youthful
flirtation with an Englishwoman, The Woman Who Knew
Gandhi boldly imagines a long correspondence between
a spiritual leader from the East and an ordinary woman
from the West. Charmingly and elegantly written,
The Woman Who Knew Gandhi explores the many
definitions of love and friendship and the surprises of
marriage. (Amazon.com review)

"Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and
Inheritance,"
by Barrack Obama
Elected the first black president of the Harvard Law
Review, Obama was offered a book contract, but the
intellectual journey he planned to recount became
instead this poignant, probing memoir of an unusual
life. Obama, the son of a white American mother
and a black African father, writes an elegant and
compelling biography that powerfully articulates
America's racial battleground and tells of his search
for his place in black America. (Amazon.com

Courage,"

the Japanese during World War II with the help of her
courageous mother. (From Library Journal)
