Through touching and often hilarious stories, she traces the roots of courage and ambition, good fun and dignity, of the household that produced Viola Desmond. Tough and compassionate, Viola shines through beyond the moment she was carried out of Roseland movie theatre for refusing to sit I the blacks-only section.

With honesty and wit, Wanda Robson tells her own brave story, giving new life to two remarkable women and the family she loved.
