Summary
A candid and moving autobiography by the 'Black Widow' of billiards
Jeanette Lee was 18 years old when she walked into a New York City pool hall and became enamored by the
elegant geometry of the game. Before long, she was an unmistakable figure on the international competition
circuit, dressed head-to-toe in black, stalking the billiards table and gazing down her cue as if tracking her prey.
In this new memoir, the woman nicknamed 'The Black Widow' opens up about her legendary career and the
rich, unpredictable life she's woven around it. Lee details her upbringing in a Korean-American household in
the Bronx, her single-minded drive to reach the pinnacle of her sport, and her unlikely entry into the realm of
mainstream celebrity in an era where female athletes rarely got their share of the limelight.
Lee also reflects on her lifelong struggle with scoliosis, which necessitated over twenty operations during her
playing career; her public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer; the communities that gave her strength throughout.
Written with warmth and candor, this the definitive story of a true icon.
