Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin



Well, it can't come as a huge surprise that I would review this book. If it does, where have you been the last year and a half :)
I had high expectations of the Guv for this book, and she surpassed them. She has a wonderful sense of humor and I found myself laughing out loud many times. My favorite humorous section was her description of the Vice Presidential debate. The whole thing is funny, but the best part is Joe Biden stretching. She describes it so well.

There were also some sad parts. She actually had 2 miscarriages. My heart felt like it dropped when she wrote about the first one, and how the medical staff had first mistakenly written "abortion" in its paperwork. Her description of finding out her son would be born with Downs Syndrome is also quite touching.

It was really fun to read in her own words how she governed as a mayor, as a governor, and other positions in between. The lady is a Conservative, and a bit Libertarian to boot. The last part of her book really sets forth her vision for America and what direction we need to be heading in.

Her book is full of the faith she has in God, and in this country that He blesses.

All in all I give it many thumbs up and would recommend it to anyone.

She will be in Coeur d'Alene this coming Thursday. I'm looking forward to being able to get my copy of her book signed!
