It takes rare courage to be this vulnerable, honest, and authentic in a memoir. With heart wide open, Janet reveals herself as a girl whose path was driven by intellect, curiosity, and a quest for justice. The history she weaves into her personal story gives gravity to the book. A compelling story. --Denise Page, writer, storyteller, diversity trainer, and vision engineer with F.U.N. (Fired Up Network) Now is the best time for this memoir to come out. Janet has an important message to deliver. --Sonja Ahuja, Capacity Building and Training Partner, Co-Creating Effective and Inclusive Organizations (CEIO)
