Description

An extraordinary account of what it means to stand up for justice, and for yourself, no matter the cost; now with a new epilogue

'It is when things feel the most uncertain, and we are at our most tired, frustrated and worn out, that we must dig deep. That's when we need to find it within ourselves not to turn away and hide in our bunkers, but to rise up and be even more vocal . . . If we hide, when we emerge from our hiding places the world might be transformed into a hostile, alien environment in which we have no say at all and where the things we love and value no longer exist.'



About the Author

Gina Miller was the lead claimant in the 2016 constitutional legal case against the UK Government over triggering Article 50 and the sole claimant in 2019 regarding Prime Minister Boris Johnson's attempt to prorogue - close down - Parliament for five weeks. Born and raised in Guyana, she went to boarding school in England at the age of eleven and went on to study Law at the University of East London, then Marketing at the University of North London. In 2009, she and her husband Alan Miller co-founded SCM Direct, a disruptive investment management company. She has three children: Lucy-Ann, Luca and Lana.

Gina is a passionate believer in responsible capitalism and benevolence and feels we all have a duty to give back to the society that affords us success, including actively stepping up and defending what is right.

A remarkable story of a remarkable woman, whose courage one can only admire, whatever your politics -- RACHEL JOHNSON * * Mail on Sunday * *
Gina Miller is one of the most exciting breakthrough leaders of the last few years. Her unbreakable courage in the face of danger has been an example to us all, but this courage was not developed overnight. Hers is a life of triumph over adversity and fighting for what she believes to be right. The words in these pages will empower and inspire anyone who wants to make a difference.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
