Because she was the only female, Republican that entered the race she stood out in a sea of male GOP candidates. But, what was striking about her was that she was the only “Black” female to enter what was later termed “the Good Old Boys Club” of millionaire, white male candidates. She also discusses in great detail the civil rights era that she was born into, her loss of several family members to cancer and other catastrophic illnesses, the discovery of twenty-seven lumps in her breasts, her arrest in 2008, the trial process, her initial incarceration and subsequent re-arrest in 2010 roughly six-and-a-half hours after being notified of the death of her Mother for alleged probation violations and how those experiences impacted her family members lives, the life of her teenage daughter, their relationships, and her spiritual growth. visualizza meno
