What People Are Saying
Nina Turner has done it again! Bringing a life full of experiences and story to pages of this book, the Senator has created a captivating read. The stories will draw you in with powerful images, vivid details, and a passion for life that is evident in every letter. I'm excited that you are about to read something so powerful!
Lena Taylor, Wisconsin State Senator
Grandma’s Bones is an inspirational journey into memories of the powerful matriarchs in any reader's life. The universal truths deposited into a young Nina Turner by an extraordinarily ordinary woman give insight to the evolution of the contentious legislator, passionate servant, and beautiful human that she has become. Moreover, her personal reflection gives vision and voice to every powerful woman who understands that her greatness was manifested not in titles or positions, but the legacy represented by those she loved enough to teach.
Jeff Johnson, Commentator, Author, and Journalist
I met my sister state senator Nina when we were both relatively new legislators and she immediately touched me with her ability to tell the kinds of stories that make you laugh and cry while you think about the lessons she's trying to teach. While I'm in my own district, I sprinkle stories told to me by Nina of her grandmother’s wisdom. Any time people hear me talk about how leaders only need three things - a wishbone, a jawbone, and a backbone - they know that grandma's lessons are alive and well in all of us who believe that caring, compassion, love, and hope are worth fighting for.
Toi Hutchinson, Illinois State Senator.
