They better call me Sugar : my journey from the hood to the hardwood

Summary: Sugar Rodgers's road to a successful WNBA career was fraught with hardship and tragedy.

Here Rodgers delivers a powerful message of discipline, perseverance, and self-determination for anyone growing up in economically challenging conditions. -- adapted from back cover.
