Tense, human, inspirational, and all true, a testament to character and endurance by women who took active roles in the dramatic events that forever changed the face of this nation.” —Edna Buchanan, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Corpse Had a Familiar Face and The Ice Maiden
“An important, affecting joint memoir that examines the struggles of…the civil rights movement.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“A fascinating and important new book…A memoir so absorbing and essential that it takes two people to tell.” —Oregonian
“Powerful…Cathartic in its recounting of past obstacles, and optimistic in its hopes for the future.” —Publishers Weekly
“A riveting account of the Civil Rights struggle…Patricia Floyd and Lizan Mitchell make the listener fully understand the anger, fear, moral certainty, and courage that are required of those who challenge oppression.
