 Don't Let the
Lipstick Fool You
by Lisa Leslie with Larry Burnett
Foreword by Earvin “Magic” Johnson
Kensington Books
From the basketball legend whose slam dunk made WNBA history comes a
candid, touching and inspiring memoir and a gripping
behind-the-scenes look at the cutthroat world of pro sports.
Lisa Leslie first learned to play basketball as a young teenager in
South Central Los Angeles. Soon she was breaking state records, but
life away from the courts was less happy. Lisa never knew her
father, and shuttled between relatives while her mother drove an
18-wheeler full time.
Here, Lisa recounts her metamorphosis from a gangly teen to a
world-famous athlete known for her poise, her beauty, and her tough
play. Lisa’s incredible tale of overcoming adversity will appeal not
only to sports fans eager to know more about a pioneer of the game,
but to all young people looking for a strong, graceful role model.

be nearly enough. With her marriage shattered and her life in
turmoil, she’ll have to decide what she’s willing to lose…and how
much more she dares to risk.
