Thank you, Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this advanced readers copy. This was a fascinating memoir of the author's journey from childhood to becoming a doctor in Philadelphia during the beginning of the Covid pandemic. She talks of the lack of role models in her life and the obstacles she overcame as well as her faith and belief in herself. Dr Ala Stanford knew the barriers black patients had to healthcare, so Covid hit her hometown of Philadelphia, she took her knowledge and skills to care for those in her city who would be hit the hardest and with the least resources. Dr Stanford was able to rally people around her, set up resources, and reach those that might otherwise never have gotten vaccinations for Covid. This book is a testament to the power that one person can make a difference and healthcare can happen with very little.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book ahead of time in exchange for a review. You should read it!
