On the 26 June 2013, Texas state senator Wendy Davis became an overnight political sensation and a hero to womens' rights supporters across the country. Davis stood and spoke on the floor of the state legislature for nearly 11 hours to run out the clock on a sweeping bill that aimed to close all but five abortion clinics in Texas. Now, Davis is making a serious run to become the first Democratic governor of Texas in nearly two decades. With her singular narrative and tremendously exciting political future, this is bound to be the political memoir of the year.

Review:
"Very good... an important contribution not only to understanding Wendy Davis but to where we are right now." -Rachel Maddow "I'm a Republican...but I can still love the book and be moved by an inspirational story." -Joe Scarborough "Texas gubernatorial candidate Davis delivers a political biography that is better--in part because it's better written, in part because it's more heartfelt--than most books of its kind...Doubtless we'll be hearing more from Davis. This modest memoir makes it clear why even her opponents should pay attention to her." -Kirkus "Compelling." -Associated Press

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Refreshing and forthright,Forgetting to Be Afraidis a deeply moving testament to the enduring power of the American Dream.An inspiring memoir by Wendy Davis, one of America's brightest political stars and hero to women's rights supporters everywhere.In June of 2013, Texas state senator Wendy Davis became an overnight political sensation when she singlehandedly filibustered Governor Rick Perry's sweeping anti-abortion bill. Her personal story is just as remarkable. The daughter of a single mother, Davis, at age 19, was on her way to becoming a single mother herself. She was living with her own young daughter in a trailer park while working two jobs and struggling to make ends meet. Still, she managed to attend and graduate from Texas Christian University and Harvard Law School, be elected to the Fort Worth City Council and the Texas Senate, and, in 2014, became the most serious Democrat in two decades to make a run for governor. Refreshing and forthright, Forgetting to Be Afraid is a deeply moving testament to the enduring power of the American Dream.
