DID YOU KNOW I dedicated Echo of Lies to my mom?
In 1951, when my mother told her father she wanted to get a college education, he told her no and that he wouldn’t support her. My mother went anyway, received a basketball scholarship, worked all three years, graduated in business education, and never looked back. I can’t even imagine how hard that must have been for her. But her courage paved the way for women like me, my sisters, and my daughter (Highly overeducated with two Master’s, an MD, and two Ph.Ds).
At its heart, my mom’s courage is what Echo of Lies is about - women who overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to forge their own path forward.
