Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts

by Rebecca Hall

Available June 1

This is not your traditional history book. Part historical reimagining, part graphic novel, and part memoir for the author, Wake is just as much about the research process as about the unearthing of facts and stories about the little-known women-led slave revolts. Included in Rebecca Hall's trove of primary sources: old court records, slave ship captain’s logs, and forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from a burying ground uncovered in Manhattan. Hall strives to reconstruct several of the women's histories, not only to share their stories, but how those events centuries ago have ripple effects still felt today.

Animal: A Novel

by Lisa Taddeo

Available June 8

Two years after the release of the buzzy bestseller Three Women, author Lisa Taddeo returns this summer, this time with a novel that is said to have been born from the pain Taddeo witnessed while reporting her lauded nonfiction work over the course of several years. In Animal, protagonist Joan is no stranger to cruel acts committed by men against women. But a pivotal event sends her on a trajectory from prey to predator in this examination of the power and shame of female rage.

Glory Days: The Summer of 1984 and the 90 Days That Changed Sports and Culture Forever

by L. Jon Wertheim

Available June 15

Eager for the return of the Summer Olympics this July? Get your fix a month early. In Glory Days, Sports Illustrated executive editor L. Jon Wertheim frames the summer of 1984 as one of the most pivotal in American sports history—one that included not only the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, but also monumental moments in the careers of Michael Jordan, Martina Navratilova, and John McEnroe—among others—as well as the emergence of ESPN.

Collision Course: Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars That Upended an Auto Empire

by Hans Greimel and William Sposato

Available June 22

The downfall of ex-Nissan chief (and now wanted fugitive) Carlos Ghosn is so bizarre that even a Hollywood screenwriter wouldn't have been able to think of it. From saving the automaker from bankruptcy in the early 2000s to his arrest in (and then escape from) Japan, Ghosn's history is complicated, to say the least. Based on years of reporting (including interviews with Ghosn during his tenure at Nissan), Tokyo-based journalists Hans Greimel (Automotive News) and William Sposato (formerly of the Wall Street Journal and Reuters) take a closer look at Ghosn's history and the charges against him.

Becoming Trader Joe: How I Did Business My Way and Still Beat the Big Guys

by Joe Coulombe and Patty Civalleri

Part of that interest stems from its unique (if not mysterious) sourcing of grocery products unseen elsewhere. In Becoming Trader Joe, founder Joe Coulombe shares his advice on building your own one-of-a-kind brand—one beloved by customers and employees alike.
