Highly recommend it and cannot wait to send it to my teenager, nieces, clients and especially my guy friends who love sports. When I was a little girl, my parents—Dad, a social worker; and Mom, a Chilean immigrant—taught me compassion for others by taking me to homeless shelters and nursing homes. Yet none of the three adults—two men and Juliette’s mother—who had been in the tiny ranch-style house that evening drinking rum and smoking weed had been arrested. With my glasses, braces, and hair that looked like it had been through a blender, I was a walking billboard for fashion don’ts. Juliette had suffered a lacerated liver from a kick to the stomach as well as cerebral hemorrhaging and a badly bruised lung.

Guerrero's past wasn't a complete mystery to me but I think a lot of people my age may have associated her with a short run as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football and a place alongside the hooting and hollering-infused boys club vibe of Fox Sports' now horribly dated Best Damn Sports Show Period.

I could not put down this book because every chapter brought another sports legend or powerful entertainer and a harsh lesson learned.
