Thanks for taking the time to post this excellent review. You make me really anxious to get my copy.

I am in the Philippines right now and I hope to see it in the bookstore here soon-they carry all the left wing books from the US, so it would be a crime if they don’t carry this one.

But she didn't *stay* on the outside. She organized a grass-roots movement for governor, against many more "connected" people, based on representing the people: not merely talking of it, but driving 12-hour round trips in her VW Jetta for meet-and-greets, when she couldn't afford the airfare. Meeting with Native villagers--with both her own children and the campaign staffers' children in tow.

It came to me, that if you understand Sarah, you understand what her father Chuck Heath said. "Sarah didn't quit. She stopped to Reload."

But a better metaphor came to me as I was reading your review.

General Patton didn't quit attacking the German Army when he disengaged, wheeled the 3rd Army and marched to relieve Bastogne. He defeated them utterly.

Imagine the last 4 months if Sarah had not come to the defense of our country immediately!!!

Petty careerists just don't get it. She isn't worried about running for President, that she trusts to God. She is fighting to save our country like the rest of us now, when it matters because if we lose 2010, there really won't be any hope or change in 2012.

Good report. I think I’ll request the audiobook from the library. I can’t read much these days: Frank knocks the books out of my hands.

i predict it will break all records

YES!! Can't wait to get my copy! Wonder if the presses are rolling again - didn't they say only 1.5M will be printed the first go around? I hope Sarah/family make tons of $ from this book. Then it's time for another book! She deserves it all and more!

Great post!

Exactly!! She lives her life one day at a time and I don't believe she even knows herself if she will run! Just doing what she knows to do for OUR COUNTRY - like you said, just like us! She is being led by The Lord - the godless are clueless to that fact. Unconventional Sarah - yes!!

Got mine Yesterday in Grand Rapids. Gonna see her 2day. Read an excerpt from the book on the Roger Fredinberg Show last night.

I was waiting for the expected snark about my low IQ, but it didn't come. I suspect the clerk felt as the sand castle does at the moment it looks up and sees the tsunami approaching, just after it had been celebrating how far the ocean had receded...

Thanks grey_whiskers. Nice turn of phrase!
