"An eloquent account of a remarkable life, "Project Girl" should be placed on all high school and college reading lists and offered to anyone looking for a book beautifully written."--Frank McCourt, author of "Angela's Ashes" "In her engrossing memoir, McDonald, a Brooklyn-born lawyer now living in Paris, compares herself to Icarus because she, too, soared and fell mightily. The difference is that after her falls, McDonald picked herself up and charged onward."--Sara Ivry, "New York Times Book Review" "Devastating. . . .

Every once in a while though, we might find ourselves sitting next to someone whose story is so intriguing that we actually miss our stop because we are so engrossed in their tale. Such is the effect of Janet McDonald's "Project Girl.""--Deborah Cowell, "Black Issues Book Review"
