Non-Fiction Memoir
Never in My Wildest Dreams is a memoir with a message. Raised in a dysfunctional family in Louisiana and the San Francisco Bay area, Belva Davis rose through the black radio industry, became the first black female reporter west of the Mississippi with her hiring at KPIX, and eventually anchored KQEDβs βEvening Edition,β the stationβs nightly news show. Overcoming personal and career obstacles, Davis reported on some of the eraβs most explosive stories, including the rise and fall of the Black Panthers, the Jonestown massacre, and the Moscone/Milk murders. The book also recounts Davisβs interviews with world leaders, including Fidel Castro and three U.S. presidents.
