Don't judge until you have the whole story

I am a big college basketball fan,I never really liked Vivian Stringer until I read this book. She is a proud and strong women who has been through many tragedies and victories. This book explains the women behind the women. I thought it was excellent. A must read.

GREAT!!

An absolutely outstanding book about a remarkable woman. A must read for anyone who follows Rutgers' womens basketball and/or coaches ANY sport!

C. Vivian Stringer - Standing Tall

This woman is completely amazing!! Being from Iowa, I fondly remember the Vivian Stringer era. I was part of the 22,000+ that atttended the game against Ohio State, setting the attendance record at the time as part of C. Vivian Stringer's vision. I am in awe of her and hearing her own story in her own words has had a profound impact on me. She mentions in the book her decision to fight for her spot on the cheerleading squad at her high school not only to cheer the team on, but to pave the way for future generations She talks about how later on, she realized that those "future generations" were her own neices.

In thinking about that story and others in the book, I realized the impact that Vivian Stringer has had on my own daughter - a basketball and volleyball player, both directly and indirectly through other generations of Stringer girls with Stringer values.

Amazing story!! Amazing Woman!!

Inspiration--Better than a Sermon

Nothing gives inspiration better than a life-lived story. Vivian Stringer and Lauren Tucker presented a view of the life of a woman who knows how to to get above flooding waters of trouble and tragedy in life. I can not tell you how many times in reading the chapters, I was brought to tears. So many things that she has gone through in life just hits home where your heart is. Things that many of us bury in minds just to move on are stirred and brought to the surface when Vivian tells her story. You can understand the hurt and bewilderment that she feels. She makes it plain. You can remember going through racial inequality in life and learning how to cope, but the feelings of the pain momentarily come back when this story is told. Best of all you remember how you got over it. Best of all to you Viv and love to your family.
