- Summary:
- "An empowering, unabashedly bold memoir by the Atlantic journalist and former ESPN SportsCenter co-anchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life's battles might be"-- Provided by publisher.
- 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 throughout her childhood she had constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of life, and through hard work and a constant willingness to learn she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence. Here Hill shares he story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God- no matter how uphill life's battle might be. -- adapted from jacket
