Synopsis

What really happens on the front lines of change? For Bertine, a former ESPN columnist and professional cyclist, advocating for gender equality wasn't even on her radar in 2007. By 2017, everything changed. Global petitions, documentary filmmaking, pressure groups, secret meetings, bullying managers, brain injuries, devastating depression, healing victories… the decade-long span of one woman's foray into activism was rife with difficulties. But also a journey of hope, passion, courage and triumph. With unabashed honesty, irreverence, history, humor and authenticity, Bertine's memoir takes us behind the scenes of what really happens when we stand up and fight for what we believe. And why we must. Proving that we all have the power to create change, STAND delivers a timely and poignant message to readers from all walks of life: The journey toward equal opportunity is always worth the struggle. Kathryn Bertine is an author, activist, filmmaker, public speaker and retired professional athlete. She’s written four nonfiction books, All the Sundays Yet to Come, As Good As Gold, The Road Less Taken and Stand. Her documentary film, Half the Road, can be found on iTunes, Amazon Prime and Vimeo. A former columnist and editor at ESPN, she now serves as CEO of Homestretch Foundation. A native New Yorker and dual citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis, Bertine lives in Tucson, Arizona.
