Summary
The co-host of "The View" and ABC News senior legal correspondent traces her journey from a biracial child in a South Bronx housing project to a successful and influential Washington, D.C. attorney and journalist. Growing up half Puerto Rican and half African-American, raised by teenage parents in the South Bronx, Hostin escaped poverty and the turbulence of her early life through hard work, a bit of luck and earning academic scholarships to college and law school before immersing herself in the workings of the criminal justice system. She became a federal prosecutor, then a legal journalist. She was one of the first national reporters to cover Trayvon Martin's death-- which her producers labeled "just a local story." Here she shares her personal turmoil, and reflects on the high-stakes cases and stories she worked on as a prosecutor and during her time at CNN, Fox News, ABC and The View. -- adapted from jacket

Summary
The Emmy Award winner, co-host of The View, and ABC News senior legal correspondent chronicles her journey from growing up in a South Bronx housing project to becoming an assistant US attorney and journalist in this memoir that offers an intimate and unique look at identity, intolerance, and injustice. Hostin offers encouragement to those on the verge of giving up their dreams and implores us to rethink our biases, to not underestimate someone because of their gender, dismiss another because of their ethnicity, or prejudge someone because of their economic circumstances.
