"The . . . arc of [Dovey Roundtree's] life pulses through this exquisite and essential memoir as she battles her way out of the segregated South and into some of the highest courts of the land, carving 'a way out of no way.'"

"A gripping read. From the first few pages to the last, the reader is drawn in by the courage and perseverance of a remarkable woman . . . . McCabe's narrative skills pull one in as seductively as a novel."

-- Novelist Patricia O'Brien
