Here is just a sample of what you′ll find inside: "People have told me that their lives have changed because of me. I take away from this the sense that I′m on the right track." "I am a woman–in–progress. I′m just trying like everyone else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. All I know is I can′t be anybody else. And it′s taken me a long time to realize that." "I am what I am because of my grandmother. My strength. My sense of reasoning. Everything. All that was set by the time I was six." "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." "I always feel if you do right, right will follow." "Just tell the truth. It′ll save you every time."
