About this book
Lisa Leslie first learned to play basketball in South Central Los Angeles and was quickly breaking state records; however, life at home was less happy. Lisa never knew her father, and had to shuttle between relatives while her mother drove an 18-wheeler full time. In Don't Let The Lipstick Fool You, Lisa recounts her metamorphosis from a gangly teen to a world-famous athlete known for her poise, her beauty and her tough play. Lisa's tale will appeal not only to sports fans, but also to all young people looking for a strong, graceful role model.
