"Readers wanting to learn the history of the WACs will find much to enjoy!" — Kirkus Reviews
"While the focus is on the women’s lives and friendships, Williams (Things Past Telling, 2022) doesn’t shy away from recounting the pervasive and insidious racism and misogyny faced by the women of the 6888th, including inadequate facilities and housing and harassment from both civilians and fellow service members. This novel will resonate with readers interested in character-driven stories about women’s courageous service during WWII." — Booklist
“Sheila Williams celebrates the only Black enlisted women to serve overseas in World War II in No Better Time . . . Williams draws upon the personal narratives of her cousin who served in the 6888 to create a story full of color and energy. Combined with her significant research, this personal touch enables Williams to shine a light on a part of World War II that has had little prior attention. With an upcoming Tyler Perry film focused on this extraordinary battalion, the women of the 6888 are sure to find their rightful place in history. No Better Time is just the novel to elevate these unforgettable voices.”
