“We need to look in the mirror and go, why? Why is this happening?”

Ann Montgomery broke into sports broadcasting in the 1970s, becoming her high school’s first female sportscaster despite professors telling her women couldn’t do the job. She fought through gender bias, dismissive coaches, and a rocky start in live TV in Columbus, Georgia — then rebuilt again through divorce and self-doubt in her 40s, finding new purpose in refereeing and teaching underprivileged students.
Her throughline: curiosity and resilience. Life wasn’t linear, but every setback opened a new door — eventually leading her to write novels drawn from her own life and the people she’s met along the way. This is a story about personal reinvention, told by someone who’s done it more than once.
From Anne Montgomery
“Take no as a gift.”
“We need to look in the mirror and go, why? Why is this happening?”
“If I had listened to everyone who said no, I would have given up too soon.”
