Troublemaker

Lisa Cornwell never shied away from standing up to bullies.
When she was a freshman in college, she saw a manhit a woman in the face with a closed fist while aparalyzed crowd stood by and watched. Secondslater, she took matters into her own hands-with a3-iron from her golf bag.
This impulse crystallized years later when Cornwellpublicly spoke out against the misogynistic cultureshe and others experienced at the hands of theiremployer, Golf Channel/NBCUniversal. Throughouther time at the network, she challenged the toxicenvironment and was quickly branded a "troublemaker"-a label that often accompanies women whorefuse to play by an antiquated set of rules.
In this authentic and unreserved memoir, which includes a powerful foreword from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Cornwelltakes readers inside the boys' club of sports mediaand reveals the way powerful corporations cover upwrongdoings. For her, what began with retaliationexploded into a public smear campaign and, ultimately, her dismissal.She also shares the unlikely yet formative touchstones of her life: a close friendship with Tiger Woodswhen both were nationally ranked junior golfers; hercousin, Bill Clinton, being elected President of the United States; and the private demons she battledas a young adult that almost cost her everything.
Candid and compulsively readable,Troublemakerserves as a reminder of the ability we possess tostand up to Goliath...and the virtue in finding one'sown path.
