Opis

Sometimes, even the people closest to us can't comprehend the unrelenting pain of our past, as was the case for Toni L. Coleman Carter-mother, wife, outspoken community leader, human resources practitioner, lecturer, and former government executive. For dozens of years, Toni hid the scars of physical and sexual abuse, the shame of an attempted suicide, the challenges of being a teen mother, and the granite obstacles of climbing the corporate ladder. When Trouble Finds You is Toni's frank, vivid memoir that shares the experiences that shaped her into a trailblazer. By inviting readers into her story, Carter reaches out to the hundreds of thousands who find consolation in their silence--and empowers them with the courage it takes to find their valuable voice.
