from one of America's most transformative politicians and activists.

About The Forerunner:
Having worked as a nurse, a pastor, and a community organizer in St.
Louis, Missouri, Cori Bush hadn't initially intended to run for political
office. But when protests in Ferguson erupted in 2014, Bush found herself
on the frontlines, providing medical care and protesting violence against
Black lives. Encouraged by community leaders to run for office, and
compelled by an urgency to prevent her children and others from becoming
social media hashtags, Bush campaigned persistently while navigating
myriad personal challenges — and ultimately rose to unseat a twenty-year
incumbent to become the first Black woman to represent her state in
Congress.
The Forerunner is the raw and moving account of a politician and activist
whose life experiences, though underrepresented in the halls of Congress,
reflect some of the same realities and struggles that many Americans face
in their everyday lives. Courageously laying bare her experience as a
minimum-wage worker, a survivor of domestic and sexual violence, and an
unhoused parent, Congresswoman Bush embodies a new chapter in progressive
politics that prioritizes the lives and stories of those most politically
vulnerable at the core of its agenda. A testament to the lasting legacy of
the Ferguson Uprising and an unflinching examination of how the American
political system is so deeply intertwined with systemic injustice, The
Forerunner is profoundly relatable and inspiring at its heart. At once a
stirring and emotionally wrought personal account and a fierce call to
action, this is political memoir the likes of which we've never seen
before.
