WOW!!! Inspiring to all - male, female, black and white. April 22, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
C. Viviens Stringer's book is written with such exceptional passion for life that you can't help but feel it. After reading her book I wanted to cry for joy at all of the lives she has touched and inspired. My husband devoured it in a few days. Every young person should read this book. Every woman will feel prouder and every man will be called to a higher standard. Thanks for sharing your amazing story Vivien. My feelings that we should all "live like we are dying" was embraced by her experiences.

I became interested in reading this book after I watched HBO's Real Sports feature on Vivian Stringer. I don't think I've ever even watched a women's basketball game in my 44 years of life. But I was intrigued by the courage and persistence of Vivian Stringer. I asked our library to borrow this book from a neighboring library on interlibrary loan. I got the book Saturday afternoon and finished it Sunday afternoon. I just could not put it down. Vivian writes with such warmth and personality, I felt, or perhaps just wished, she was my friend by the time her book ended. I laughed and cried, deeply moved by her writing, by her life, by her courage. She is a wonderful role model and hero to me and I have never met her. If your life has crossed paths with this strong woman, you have been truly blessed. If you have never met her,(as I haven't) you can still be blessed and touched by reading her story and carrying her inspiration with you as you face life's challenges. An outstanding book to be re-read and shared with women and men of all ages. Athletes and non-athletes will appreciate her tenacity, her faith, her courage, and her integrity.
Thanks Vivian, for an awesome book, long to be remembered and held close to the heart.

Growing up in Edenborn. April 14, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had the amazing fortune to grow up with the Stoners in Edenborn and graduate with Vivian's brother Timmy. There dad and my father Mario Tiberi were friends. Buddy Stoner was a great athelete and my dad was always telling everyone,Buddy never bragged. I can still see Buddy doing a bebob arrangement with his hands. Her mom and my mom were simular in raising a large family in a coal patch town. One car per family, going to Uniontown was an ordeal. They were the nicest family and everyone treated each other with respect. Everyone was told to get a education to further themselves, Vivian captured that essence. Mario V. Tiberi

I follow this woman's basketball program, but I did not know the tragedies and triumphs she has gone through. I am so impressed with this story, and I hope the best for her.
