Publisher's Synopsis

Mattie was born at a time in history when being black and female was a double curse. You had to look very hard to find any human or legal rights. Mattie stood her ground. She was confident and fierce, always pushing forward, striving to do things she wanted to do. She turned a deaf ear to those who thought they could dictate her life. Mattie's story is very powerful and inspirational; her spirit tenacious and infectious. She encouraged all the women she met to never settle for less than they deserved. Let the tenacity of one woman inspire you to the greatness you were created for.
