UNTAMABLE, The True Story of a Fearless Spirit

“She runs through life at 180 miles per hour. For her, hitting a wall is nothing more than a step back to better take a turn and start running again.” These were the words of a father who, after years of silence, finally saw the true nature of his daughter.

Born with a spirit that refuses to be caged, the author of these stories has never known how to back down. Through forty raw, gripping, and deeply personal chronicles, she takes us on a breathtaking journey through the storms of existence.

Within these pages, we witness her escaping the suffocating fears of her childhood home, navigating a violent racial crisis to protect her young son, and using nothing but the fierce power of her gaze to make a hostile world lower its eyes.

Untamable is more than a memoir. It is a masterclass in resilience. It is the unforgettable journey of a woman who has spent her life fighting for the freedom to be and challenge herself.

And yet her longest journey of all still lives in the silence of the pages ...

What readers said about it

I just finished reading Untamable and I want more. I love every chapter, every page, every sentence. It's a wonderful way of storytelling, it stays light, and yet it packs a real punch without ever falling into ‘melodrama’. It reads as smoothly as water flowing down a springtime stream. The writing is very modern but at the same time it is given to us in the oral tradition; the author speaks to us as if we were right there in the room with her, and as a reader we ‘listen’ as much as we read. The stories are all interesting, surprising, sometimes stunning. They are powerful concepts, very intimately and beautifully expressed. She always gets to me, and she does it punchily, directly, fabulously. For me, the entire book is a 10/10 success. No matter who and how they will look at it, it will appeal to all audiences.
