Unexpected, humorous and engaging stories chronicle growing up on the Southside of Chicago making mud pies, dance classes, science projects, navigating gang territories and riots, starting engineering at Stanford University at age sixteen, medical school, working in Africa – despite that the world already had a job picked out for her . . . but not the one she wanted.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK!

Dr. Jemison's book is cherished by our daughter. She was 11 years old, and it was the first autobiography by an African-American woman she read. Books such as this allow young Black girls to know what they can accomplish with hard work, education and the support of their family and community.

I read this book with girls ages 11-14 in a mentoring program that I am involved in. We had such a wonderful discussion. The girls could instantly relate to the challenges that Dr. Jemison faced as a young African American girl trying to excel in a non-traditional field of endeavor. I highly recommend this book because Dr. Jemison is so warm, honest and down to earth in her story telling.

An amazing biography on an outstanding woman who has been a model of positivity and motivation to my 9 year old daughter. Very much recommended!!!

The first woman of color in space didn't even need that on her resume to be amazing. Reading about Jemison's childhood and academic accomplishments, he hobbies and interests...this is a person impressive on so many levels. I loved reading about her relationship with her siblings and how they protected each other from outsiders but were merciless to each other when together.
