Descrição do livro
BETWEEN THE BLOCK & THE BACKBOARD Some girls grow up dreaming about the league. I grew up dreaming about surviving. Raised in chaos with three brothers, tough streets, and lessons learned long before childhood should have ended, Dmosley learned early that strength could mean survival. But surviving was only the beginning. Basketball became more than a game. It became an escape. A place where anger could become ambition, pain could become purpose, and discipline could create a future that once seemed impossible. But walking away from the streets—and everything that shaped her—was never easy. Between loyalty and betrayal, gangs and games, setbacks and triumphs, Between the Block & the Backboard takes readers inside a young woman's journey from surviving her environment to discovering who she could become beyond it. This is a raw and powerful memoir about growing up too fast, finding purpose, fighting through adversity, and learning that the toughest battle isn't always against the world—sometimes it's choosing yourself. For every girl who has ever felt outnumbered, unheard, underestimated, or trapped by where she came from, this story is a reminder: Your beginning does not have to determine your ending. The hood raised her. Her story. Her court. Her choice.
The game refined her.
But she saved herself.
