Reynolds-Brown reveals her authentic story: that of a recently divorced mom navigating the delicate balance between personal ambition and family obligations. With remarkable candor, she details the storms she weathered, including a public campaign controversy that threatened to derail everything she'd built. Yet through it all, she demonstrates how to "adjust the sail" when the winds of change blow fierce.

Part political memoir, part leadership manifesto, this powerful account from a pioneering public servant shows what's possible with equal measures of moxie and grace. Reynolds-Brown's journey from educator to accomplished legislator will inspire anyone who's ever had to fight twice as hard to get half as far—and emerged stronger for it.
