Publisher Description

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin delivers an intimate and personal look at the woman behind the public servant. In her #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Going Rogue—the bestselling nonfiction book of 2009—Palin gave readers a look at her upbringing, her dynamic career, and her candidacy next to John McCain for the Vice Presidency of the United States.

In America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag, this inspirational follow-up, her reflections on faith, family, and patriotism will read like a bible of American virtues for anyone hoping to understand the truths that lie at the heart of the nation.

"I just really like Sarah Palin. She is so anti what I think people who call themselves politicians are these days that I wish more people would just speak from their heart. She gets what is wrong with society and how to fix it. I really enjoyed her candor and the chance to grab a look "inside" at how she operates things."

Quotes

  • “Brims with historically significant details…Sudden celebrity imposes a heavier burden on conservative women than on most. In America by Heart, we learn about this woman’s inner strength to persevere, whatever lies ahead.”

    — Washington Times
  • “This isn’t your traditional campaign book by any stretch. This is more Book of Virtues meets biography, with long blockquotes and candid reflections. It stands on its own as a nice little contribution to our culture.”

    — National Review Online
  • “The always-outspoken former vice presidential candidate intersperses personal reflections with her favorite classic and contemporary readings on family, religion, and patriotism. Rousing selections for like-minded mavericks.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review
  • “More overtly political than her autobiography, the book also includes brief readings from classic and contemporary texts that have moved and inspired her and portraits of Americans, both famous and obscure, whom she admires. Palin fans will enjoy this audio experience.”

    " I loved this book. She expresses many of my feelings about our country and faith. I think anyone that really wants/does slam her should take the time to read her two books.

    " Better than I expected, mostly due to the many nice quotes and stories she included. I particularly liked the ones on patriotism and faith/morality. For me the second half of the book is better than the first. However, I do not like her writing style or her political commentaries much.

About Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin is the former governor of Alaska and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling memoir Going Rogue. She grew up in Alaska, where she met her future husband, Todd Palin. She served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the city’s mayor and manager, and then chaired both state and interstate oil and gas commissions. She was elected Alaska’s youngest and first female governor, serving from 2006 to 2009. In 2008 Palin was tapped as Senator John McCain’s running mate, becoming the first female Republican vice-presidential candidate in our nation’s history. The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.
