In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in
the wilds of Alaska, meeting her lifelong love, her decision to enter politics, the importance of faith and
family, and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the
first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare mom's-eye view of high-stakes national
politics—from patriots dedicated to "Country First" to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost. Going
Rogue traces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey, and imparts Palin's vision of a way forward for
America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.

This is my America, from my heart, and by my heart. I give it now to my children and
grandchildren, and to yours, so they will always know what it was like in America when people were free.
Since the publication of her bestselling memoir, Going Rogue, in 2009, former Alaska governor Sarah
Palin has traveled the country extensively. She has visited cities and towns in almost every state, dropped
in on military bases, given talks and speeches to small groups and at massive rallies. Throughout her
travels, she has been privileged to meet thousands of Americans—ordinary men and women who have shared with
her their hopes and dreams, their love of country, and their fears about what lies ahead. Governor Palin,
inspired by these encounters, celebrates in her new book the enduring strengths and virtues that have made
this country a beacon of liberty and hope for the rest of the world.
America by Heart is a highly
personal testament to her deep love of country, her strong roots in faith, and her profound appreciation of
family. Ranging widely over American history, culture, and current affairs, Governor Palin reflects on the
key values that have been such an essential part of her own life and that continue to inform her vision of
America’s future. The book also includes brief readings from classic and contemporary texts that have moved
and inspired her, as well as portraits of Americans, both famous and obscure, whom she admires.
Informed by Palin’s own principles and deepest feelings, graced with intimate memories, this remarkable book
gives us a close-up view of an extraordinary woman who is not afraid to speak out and defend the American
values in which she so deeply believes. |
