“Richard Williams has long been widely regarded as an enigma. Now, in his own words he reveals himself as a proud—and sometimes dangerously stubborn—warrior with a keen, incisive mind. Part memoir and part how-to guide on raising children, this is a fascinating tale of a complex character who refused to give up or give in to the status quo.” – Nathan McCall, author of Makes Me Wanna Holler

“Inspiring and tough-minded, Williams’ book is above all a celebration of one man’s resilient, unorthodox spirit. Upfront and unapologetic.”—Kirkus

“Fascinating, revealing, and in-depth memoir.”—Black Tennis Review

“Packed with riveting anecdotes, little-known facts and a triumphant, inspiring undertone, the book delivers unique insight into the mind and method of a determined, victorious man.”—Ebony magazine

“Gritty, opinionated, and inspirational, Williams' memoir is a testament to a man's courage, drive, and commitment.”—Publishers Weekly

“An iconoclast’s remarkable account of triumphing over hatred.”

– Chicago Tribune
