Unstoppable

The inspiring story of how Diane Black rose from public housing to public office and turned her meager beginnings into stalwart leadership

NASHVILLE, TN, USA, May 22, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NASHVILLE (May 2018) - Dunham Books of Franklin, Tennessee, announces the release of Unstoppable, the inspiring story of Congressman Diane Black’s remarkable life and accomplishments, written by her husband, David L. Black, PhD. From growing up in public housing to holding public office, Diane Black has lived the classic American Dream. Despite her humble upbringing, she became the first in her family to attain a college degree and went on to a successful career in nursing.

Publisher David Dunham stated: “I am pleased to publish Dr. Black’s inspiring and informative biography about his wife, Congressman Diane Black. Her story of growing up in public housing, becoming a nurse, and then being elected to the US Congress is the classic American Dream.”

In this moving memoir, Dr. Black recounts the unforgettable moment in 1967 when he first laid eyes on Diane, and how eleven years later they finally embarked on a life together. When Dr. Black moved his family to Tennessee in 1986, he never imagined that his wife would one day be elected to the Tennessee General Assembly and later to the US Congress. Dr. Black’s moving tribute reveals the genuine character behind the nationally known public figure and the truth behind the political falsehoods. Named one of the twenty-five most influential women in Congress, Diane Black is dedicated to serving others and has an unstoppable spirit of determination in all she does.
