Customer Reviews

Wow!

After listening to Sarah Palin's spectacular speech at the RNC, I searched for any and all material on this impressive governor. This is a quick read, but true to her character. Would enjoy more material on her accomplishments...she is truly an inspiration.

Some people don't read just talk

[...] Regardless of how I plan to vote this book is well written and informative. It is well worth reading and if you have a Kindle very cost effective.

Inspiring

I read this book while my 2 year napped in about 3 1/2 hours. I was blown away at Sarah Palins politcal sucess. For the first time in my life I am proud to really support this woman's candidancy. This book is simple and easy to read through. It is NOT all fluff, it is factual and to the point. I wanted to have an open mind about Sarah Palin's experience and was not afraid to be somewhat critical of her. She DID SHAKE THINGS UP IN ALASKA. Living in the Left Coast (CA). The way things are in Alaska makes me want to pack my bags right now and raise a family in Wasilla. Sarah Palin is an amazing true Feminist, she is what TRUE WOMAN IS ALL ABOUT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE DOES IN WASHINGTON. GO SARAH!

Good, Not Great

This book was written and published months before Sarah Palin became the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee, so those harping about this being a political stunt for McCain need to go back and brush up on their reading skills: Published April, 2008. I'm sure now there will be other books written, both praising and condemning her. This is a basic introduction to Mrs. Palin, a place to start for anyone wanting to find out about her early years.

An engaging story about a Real American Woman

A very well written, engaging book that will give insight to a very real woman who is very much like many other women today. This woman is accomplished, devoted to her family, faith and country. Sarah Palin has taken it just a bit further; she has taken on big government and corporations and the wheeling and dealing that has undermined our government and has jaded voters creating apathy. Sarah Palin reminds us that our Country is great because if its people not government. A woman who faced scrutiny and derision to become Alaska's Governor now faces the same in a blown up scale to possibly become the first woman Republican Vice President. It is refreshing and very well might bring a breath of fresh air to Washington D.C. that may clear up the political pollution spreading across our country.
