BESKRIVELSE:
What would it be like to sit down for an impassioned, entertaining conversation
with Hillary Clinton? In Something Lost, Something Gained, Hillary offers her
candid views on life and love, politics, liberty, democracy, the threats we
face, and the future within our reach. She describes the strength she draws from
her deepest friendships, her Methodist faith, and the nearly fifty years she's
been married to President Bill Clinton - all with the wisdom that comes from
looking back on a full life with fresh eyes. She takes us along as she returns
to the classroom as a college professor, enjoys the bonds inside the exclusive
club of former First Ladies, moves past her dream of being president, and dives
into new activism for women and democracy. From canoeing with an ex-Nazi trying
to deprogram white supremacists to sweltering with salt farmers in the desert
trying to adapt to the climate crisis in India, Hillary brings us to the front
lines of our biggest challenges. For the first time, Hillary shares the story of
her operation to evacuate Afghan women to safety in the harrowing final days of
America's longest war. But we also meet the brave women dissidents defying
dictators around the world, gain new personal insights about her old adversary
Vladimir Putin, and learn the best ways that worried parents can protect kids
from toxic technology. We also hear her fervent and persuasive warning to all
American voters. In the end, Something Lost, Something Gained is a testament to
the idea that the personal is political, and the political is personal,
providing a blueprint for what each of us can do to make our lives better.
Hillary has "looked at life from both sides now". In these pages, she shares the
latest chapter of her inspiring life and shows us how to age with grace and keep
moving forward, with grit, joy, purpose, and a sense of humour.
