 Review 
“Katherine Johnson’s personal story never gets old, and never fails to inspire.” -- Margot Lee Shetterly, Author of the 
New York Times bestseller 
Hidden Figures \n“Katherine Johnson was a fierce intellect, a commanding presence, a determined boundary breaker, a passionate advocate for justice, and, simultaneously, one of the most kind, gentle, and humble spirits I have ever met. The story of this human computer whose calculations changed the world is also the story of a woman of deep, abiding faith whose trust in God and whose determination to excel changed everyone around her. In this book, in her own words, her story rises like a rocket, triumphantly and majestically. Reading it, you will feel your spirit soar.” -- Brian K. Blount, President of the Union Presbyterian Seminary, and Former Pastor to Katherine\n“Her brilliance and numbers helped me and many others reach the stars. A storied and rich legacy that will resonate with many generations of explorers.” -- Astronaut Leland Melvin, author of 
Chasing Space\n“A telling and inspirational look into the amazing life of Katherine G. Johnson that goes beyond the numbers to tell a story of brilliance, perseverance and compassion. Katherine’s journey charted a course to the stars both compelling and beautiful. A story of her humanity, her genius and her compassion that enabled both the dreams of a Nation and of every individual she encountered.” -- Clayton P. Turner, Director of NASA’s Langley Research Center\n“This compelling memoir takes us on Katherine’s journey as she navigates social forces, great loss, and personal triumph. Katherine demonstrated self-responsibility, determination, a great work ethic, and as her father taught her, she remained humble even after receiving many prestigious recognitions and awards. Her memoir captures the essence of the values our program wants to exemplify and having her name on our building inspires us to honor her legacy.” -- Gregory Blaney, Director, NASA’s Katherine Johnson Independent Verif
