| Summary, etc.: | Richards' childhood in ultra-conservative Texas with her civil rights attorney father and activist mother taught her to be a troublemaker. She watched her mother, Ann, transform from housewife to the straight-talking, truth-telling governor of Texas. But Richards also witnessed the pitfalls of public life that are unique to women. Here she shines a light on the people and lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad, and encourages readers to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way. |
