Great suggestions here – for something a little different I’d recommend Passing Strange by Martha Sandweiss. It’s about Clarence White, who was an elite guy, friend of Roosevelt, head of the US geological survey, blonde and blue eyed, who was living a double life in which he had a Black family who believed that he was a Pullman pullman and that’s why he was gone for long periods of time, and he kept it going for decades. It’s a fascinating biography!
