Critics Review
“Very good… an important contribution not only to understanding Wendy Davis but to where we are right now.” –Rachel Maddow
“I’m a Republican…but I can still love the book and be moved by an inspirational story.” –Joe Scarborough
“Texas gubernatorial candidate Davis delivers a political biography that is better—in part because it’s better written, in part because it’s more heartfelt—than most books of its kind…Doubtless we’ll be hearing more from Davis. This modest memoir makes it clear why even her opponents should pay attention to her.” –Kirkus
“Compelling.” –Associated Press
