"Those in the field of suicide prevention and intervention need to know some of the findings in Dr. Spates’s thought-provoking study. The many stories she shares from the women she interviewed are captivating, as we learn how their convictions give them a sense of self-worth. This book needs to be distributed widely into our communities. What a great read!”

It deserves to become a classic in understanding race and suicide.”
