Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM revealed Dec. 7 she will release her memoir “Wake Up With Purpose!: What I've Learned in My First Hundred Years” on Feb. 28, 2023 that details her life story from her childhood in San Francisco to her sudden March Madness stardom.

“It's an easy book to read,” Schmidt said to The Phoenix. “There's no big, deep thoughts in there. It's just ordinary life, I’m just ordinary so it's just my ordinary life.”

Schmidt first announced her memoir through an exclusive interview with People before the book’s publisher, Harper Select, sent out a press release three hours later the afternoon of Dec.7.

Schmidt said that the February release date was planned so the book would be released before the 2023 NCAA March Madness tournament. Schmidt said the idea for the memoir’s title came from writer Seth Davis but was inspired by her.

“Actually Seth came up with that title, when he was talking with Porter Moser who was our previous coach,” Schmidt said. “He talked to him one day, called him and asked about me, and Porter said, ‘Well she gets stuff done and she always has a purpose.’ So then it sort of, the word purpose kind of circled around in his brain and he came up with this, which I think is a really neat title.”

Schmidt wrote “Wake Up With Purpose!” alongside Davis, a studio analyst for CBS and senior writer for The Athletic focusing on college basketball in both, according to Harper Select. Davis also has previous experience writing eight other books including several New York Times bestsellers, according to Harper Select.

“Wake Up With Purpose!” is available for preorder from Harper Select, and also available to purchase through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and more.
