Date:

Jemele Hill's world came crashing down when she called President Trump a "white supremacist"; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. She shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in this memoir.
What The Reviewers Say
Hill is a skilled writer with a sharp eye for salient details and a master of sharp turns of phrase. She possesses great aptitude for in-depth character development and analysis. Powering these refined skills is a gregarious spirit and genuine wisdom. The effect is instant trust between her and her readers, which is essential for any memoir, and assurance that what is being told is the unvarnished truth.
Written in insistent prose, the remainder of this memoir is concerned with how to speak the truth, regardless of backlash.
Frank and direct.
Poignant.
