She has spent her entire lifetime telling it like it is, standing up to the establishment, and refusing to do anything other than in her own way. Politically correct? Hardly. Readers are encouraged to strap themselves in when she shares her many tales. Its the whole truth and nothing but the truth according to the legendary Shirley Muldowney.
