Synopses & Reviews
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 humor.
