Publisher's Synopsis
A soul-searching, success story with full color photos and a sketch of genealogical information about a Black, single mother and her determination to get out of the public housing projects on the Southside of Chicago, Illinois, with her five children. After many years of self-motivated struggle, she overcame seemingly unsurmountable obstacles, including depression and ignorance, managing to pull herself up, and not only get out of the projects, but obtain an advanced education to become a prosecuting attorney in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago, Illinois.
