Book Synopsis
This book is award-winning journalist Elaine Tassy's no-holds-barred account of her four years working as a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. As one of few black female staff writers, she noticed and spoke out about race, class and gender-based decisions made in the workplace.

Trade Review
Elaine Tassy's account of her all-too-brief journalism career is written with startling candor and grace. It is a cautionary tale and a worthy addition to the body of literature dissecting the roles that race and gender can play in the workplace. -- Charisse Jones, co-author of Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America
