As I am reading this book, I feel like I am there! Coretta Scott King delivers a story from a humble, courageous, and admirable heart.

She quickly became a woman I admired after reading this book. My respects usually follow women of outspoken strengths and opinions but here is a woman, a wife, a mother who wrestled with her husband's choices and sacrifices to alter history and correct what should have been a natural right. You get a strong sense of the danger this family walked through, lived in and rose from to attain equality for all. Inspiring and touching!
