All Things Being Equal: One Woman's Journey

This is an inpiring story about the unique success of a Black women. The author shares her experiences breaking the color barrier, navigating the old boys' network, and cracking the glass ceiling to become a U.S. Ambassador to an African nation. We are reminded of the difficult U.S.-Africa diplomatic issues of the period and of the socio-cultural challenges of living with dark skin in the good ole U.S. of A. The Honorable Mrs. Shepard engages the reader in such a way that one forgets it is an (historical)autobiography. This is an excellent choice for Black History Month!

A wonderful journey

I have always wanted to travel overseas, and live the kind of life that this book describes. This is a book that really inspires us to do more with our lives, to push straight through the barriers that others place before us (or that we place before ourselves) and realize our dreams. Right after I read this book, I started making inquiries about development jobs overseas -- something I'm sure I never would have done, had I not read this book. There is something in this book for everyone.
