The bestselling author delves into his past and retrieves the inspiring story of his grandmother’s extraordinary life.

Invisible tells the story of Eunice Hunton Carter, the only member of a group of 20 high-powered lawyers who was not a white male, and devised the strategy that in the 1930s, sent Mafia chieftain Lucky Luciano to prison. A woman who often found her path blocked by the social and political expectations of the age, Eunice Carter never accepted defeat, and thanks to her grandson’s remarkable book, she is once again visible.

Stephen L. Carter is the bestselling author of six novels, including The Emperor of Ocean Park and New England White, and eight works of non-fiction. Formerly a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, he is the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Yale University, where he has taught for more than 35 years.
