SARAH, HOW A HOCKEY MOM TURNED THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT UPSIDE DOWN
This was one of the most interesting autobiography of a real person I have ever read. It totally confirmed my first opinion of Sarah in that she is one of the most gifted people I have ever seen. She is her own person and was brought up so much like myself with God, family, self-worth, truth, and love for her fellow man and country. I cannot say enough about her as a mother and wife, either. She proves what most of us women know--that you can be a good working mom and wife. She has the partner that helps her be this type of person. Without a good man for a husband and supporter she could not do the work that I feel God has sent her to do. One thing more--she knows from where her strength and talent come from--God. So many people try to take Him out of their lives. Sarah isn't afraid. She is a breath of fresh air and I am glad McCain chose her for his running mate.

Sarah: A fresh way the govern
"Sarah" tells the story of Sarah Palin' life, from early childhood until she was elected governor of Alaska in 2006. She showed an unwavering belief that government is there to serve the people of the state and not for the benefit of the politicians. She was not afraid to break-up the old guard and surrounded herself with good people, no matter what their party affiliation. If she could bring these beliefs and practices to Washington, DC, she might be able to bring about a positive change there also.

Easy, Light, Read
This was a nice look at a fresh personality in this election. We didn't know much about Sarah, and this book came out very quickly to help fill in the gaps. It is not a gritty book meant to try and find dirt on her ~ but it does fill you in a lot on her background and who she is and how she came to be where she is today. She may not have tons of "experience" but she is a wonderful breath of fresh air in a race that had been totally depressing to me.
