Full Description: Victory Is My Name is bitter and sweet, tragic and joyful, sometimes brutally real, but always stubbornly hopeful. Like a Huckleberry Finn born female, Vickie gets a rough start as a latch-key kid on the wrong side of Dallas in the 1950's, but she never quite loses that "maybe I can..." spirit. She hates the rules that say, You can't do that... You can't have that... You can't be that... and you shouldn't even want that, because you're a girl." More than a memoir, the Victory trilogy shares with heart-searing honesty the adventures, mistakes, and rewards of challenging the untruths we're taught as children "for our own good" that forbid us to be who we really are, and hold us hostage for life unless we find our own way to the truth. An adventure tale, a mystery story, and an open window to an unapologetically extraordinary life.
