SOMETHING LOST, SOMETHING GAINED Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty

As narrator, former First Lady, Secretary of State, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sometimes sounds like a friend dropping by to chat. She discusses her grandchildren, cozy moments at home, and gatherings with longtime friends. But her memoir is also part political commentary and part Washington insider gossip, as well as an in-depth analysis of the current status of American democracy. She recounts historical events, such as evacuating vulnerable women from Afghanistan, and at those times her voice is tense and dramatic. A terrifying chapter describes what the country would face with a second Trump presidency. While Clinton has her own political bias, she is in a unique position to illuminate events that have impacted the world and current threats to our nation's liberty.
