Available with or without Jeanette Lee's autograph. All autographed books are pre-signed and not available to be personalized.
Written by Jeanette Lee and Dana Benbow, published by Triumph Books. A candid and moving autobiography by the 'Black Widow' of billiards.
In this new memoir, the woman nicknamed 'The Black Widow' opens up about her legendary career and the rich, unpredictable life she's woven around it. Lee details her upbringing in a Korean-American household in Brooklyn, her single-minded drive to reach the pinnacle of her sport, and her unlikely entry into the realm of mainstream celebrity in an era where female athletes rarely got their share of the limelight.
Lee also reflects on her lifelong struggle with scoliosis, which necessitated over twenty operations during her playing career; her public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer; and the communities that gave her strength throughout.
Written with warmth and candor, this is the definitive story of a true icon.
