Discover the untold story of the Six Triple Eight, the only all-Black, all-female unit to serve overseas in the Women’s Army Corps during World War II. Follow Dorothy Thom, a Spelman graduate, as she joins the WACs seeking adventure abroad and finds herself part of an extraordinary mission. This historical novel vividly portrays the challenges faced by these spirited women – navigating racial and gender segregation, culture shock, and mountains of undelivered mail in England and France. Facing unimaginable obstacles, the 6888th processed millions of letters, connecting soldiers with home and forging paths for future generations. ‘No Better Time’ by the acclaimed author of ‘The Secret Women’ illuminates this overlooked chapter of bravery, duty, and transformative impact.
