This biography follows Eunice Hunton Carter, the author's grandmother, in the ups and downs of her career. Carter does well in mixing the historical context with the life she was living. As a black female attorney, it was insightful to see how much things have stayed the same. Black attorneys still make up around 5% of the attorneys in the US and it is very likely to be the only one in the room. I think Carter did an excellent job exploring who his grandmother was and highlighting the joy and pains of ambition. Eunice Carter failed in some aspects but when she did succeed she has blazed a trail. My only complaint is that sometimes the author went too much into detail when it was necessary and I wish it had more details on the case that the tagline talks about. I was fascinated with the mob case and the author just didn't go into great detail about her role.
