Publisher's Summary

"Clara Adams-Ender is a dynamic leader and superb motivational speaker. She brings to her civilian career 34 years of Army service, where she excelled as a commander and manager. She knows her stuff." (Honorable Colin L. Powell, Secretary of State)

How do you overcome obstacles...and win?

A dramatic, gripping, and wholly inspirational memoir of an African American female's journey from farm worker in the tobacco fields of North Carolina to the Pentagon as an Army general. It's a story of a girl turned woman who refused to be bound by the distinctions between men's work and women's work and traveled her own road to greatness as a military officer and nurse.

Listen and enjoy the journey. It's well worth the ride!
