Raped at age 19, cheated on by her fiancé the day after he proposed, and all before suffering from “eight or nine miscarriages”. A person could never imagine enduring any one of these trials, but one person did go through all of this, and she is opening up about it in her new book: ‘We're Going to Need More Wine‘: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True’.

Gabrielle Union is known for her roles as the strong, alpha-female who never backs down to anyone, men and women alike. Her confident, yet borderline arrogant character trait, in a way, spills over into her real life, having fans believe that she is this type-A, pretentious, (excuse my language) bitch. ‘We’re Going to Need More Wine’ gives us readers a no-holds-barred look into the woman many of us have come to know as “Mary Jane”, “Eva”, and “Isis”, amongst others of course. Not only does the book chronicle Union’s life story, it also delves into issues important to her, which include advocating for victims of sexual assault and raising awareness for varying health issues surrounding women, including breast and skin cancer.
