Musician John Legend is committed to highlighting diverse voices and co-founded the publishing company, Get Lifted Books. The imprint is out with a new memoir by wildlife ecologist, Rae Wynn-Grant, titled "Wild Life: Finding My Purpose in an Untamed World." It follows her adventures in the wild as a scientist over her 20-year career, and the challenges she overcame.

Foote's debut novel is partly based on her own family history. In the early 1900s, two Black women quit the Jim Crow south and head for New Jersey. "Gripping, poetic, and with a big heart," writes Publishers Weekly, "it's a memorable work of grim determination and surprising optimism."
