"Davis is an engaging, likable personality with an inspiring story. Recommended for any reader interested in journalism, history, or gender and race relations in the United States." - Library Journal , January 2011 "An engaging memoir that includes not only a fascinating childhood and coming-of-age in the deep south and the Oakland projects, but also involvement in some of the most important happenings of the mid-20th century." -School Library Journal , February 2011 "I was not asked to write a blurb for Up from Slavery , War and Peace , or The Fire Next Time , but gladly I can say Never in My Wildest Dreams is a very important book. No people can say they understand the times in which they have lived unless they have read this book." - Dr. Maya Angelou " Never in My Wildest Dreams is the fascinating account of a pioneering black woman and her tumultuous but triumphal march through a turbulent era. Overcoming one obstacle after another, Belva Davis covered some of the most explosive stories of our era-and became one of most trusted news professionals in the business. Her story is a unique version of the American Dream, and her book is an honest, insightful, and utterly riveting memoir of a shared and personal journey." - Senator Dianne Feinstein " Never in My Wildest Dreams shows what it really takes to succeed as a black woman in the journalistic world in America. A must read." - Willie L. Brown, Jr ., Chairman and CEO, Willie L. Brown Institute "Belva Davis has lived this country's history as only a brave black woman could and has witnessed it as a journalist with a world-class head and heart. I don't think it's possible for anyone to read her words in Never in My Wildest Dreams without becoming a better and braver person." - Gloria Steinem "After a friendship of over 30 years, it's astonishing to find from this revealing, heartbreaking, and inspirational book that I knew so little about the profound and historic forces that shaped Belva's life." - Phil Bronstein , Editor-at-Large, Hearst Newspapers "Davis is an engaging, likable personality with an inspiring story.
