5 out of 5 stars Inspiration--Better than a Sermon   May 14, 2008
Nothing gives inspiration better than a life-lived story. Vivian Stringer and Lauren Tucker presented a view of the life of a woman who knows how to to get above flooding waters of trouble and tragedy in life. I can not tell you how many times in reading the chapters, I was brought to tears. So many things that she has gone through in life just hits home where your heart is. Things that many of us bury in minds just to move on are stirred and brought to the surface when Vivian tells her story. You can understand the hurt and bewilderment that she feels. She makes it plain. You can remember going through racial inequality in life and learning how to cope, but the feelings of the pain momentarily come back when this story is told. Best of all you remember how you got over it. Best of all to you Viv and love to your family.

I am a big college basketball fan,I never really liked Vivian Stringer until I read this book. She is a proud and strong women who has been through many tragedies and victories. This book explains the women behind the women. I thought it was excellent. A must read.

I have always admired Coach Stringer. Her book opened up a wide new respect for the person, the woman, the coach. She is absolutely incredible and her book is written in such a way to hold your attention through to the end. Her book left me breathless and in total awe.
