Synopsis

The author takes the reader through her childhood of poverty, growing up in gritty but dignified rural south Louisiana, and reveals how she developed a passionate love for dance. She also shares her personal story of growing up poor; picking cotton, dreaming of going to New York City and how guiding hands helped shaped her life. She also gives a peek into her dysfunctional family where she witnessed abuse, destruction, and heartache. In this riveting story, she details how a mere babysitting job led her to attend Grambling College, now Grambling State University, and enabled her to make her mark there both on campus, and ultimately internationally. Pradia also relates how a chance encounter with the legendary basketball Hall of Famer Willis Reed resulted in meeting the love of her life, and how winning the title of All-American Cheerleader at Grambling made her childhood dream of going to New York City one day, a reality.
