Description
Wendy Davis's memoir is a deeply moving account of her remarkable journey from struggling single mother to Texas state senator and gubernatorial candidate. Born into adversity, Davis recounts how she overcame incredible obstacles to achieve her goals, including graduating from university and Harvard Law School while working multiple jobs. Her personal story is as remarkable as her political achievements. In 2013, Davis became an overnight sensation when she filibustered a sweeping anti-abortion bill, drawing national attention to her cause. Forgetting to Be Afraid offers a refreshing and forthright look at the enduring power of the American Dream. This memoir is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
