pickI have read Hillary Rodham Clinton's books, and this one is my favorite. This is like sitting down for coffee with a dear friend who is reflecting on life. You can feel the fight she still has regarding politics, but the fact that she has found a way to still work for the causes she believes in as a citizen is something we can all be inspired by. I do not doubt that Hillary Rodham Clinton's best years are still to come.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.“
This book talks about Eleanor Roosevelt who was one of the most influential women in American History. It talks about her early life and then becoming the First Lady and what she did to fight for human rights and social justice.
pickThis book is a great read for young readers who want to learn amount the infamous Eleanor Roosevelt!
I‘m still not over 2016, and I‘m stress eating and nail biting as we await next week. I still managed a few chunksters in October. #octoberrecap
pickThis memoir is well written and processes her life and policies that she is willing to discuss. I have profound respect for her and liked her more after reading her book. I found her to be intelligent, vulnerable, and a hard ass. Since I agree with her on many topics, I love her lines in the sand of things she won‘t compromise.
pickThis was such a moving and impactful book. Reminds me to keep fighting for a better future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let the holiday reading weekend begin!
pickLow end of the pick scale. The stories from White House residence staff were interesting, but Brower was all over the place. My two favorite sections had themes — children in the WH and how residence staff dealt with traumatic events like 9/11 and Kennedy‘s assassination. In many ways, Brower turns the staff members into saints. No staff member ever talks out of turn. All staff members respect and care for the families they serve. Really?
