This book has given me even more respect for Gov. Sarah Palin, as well as insight into her decision to step down from her position as governor of Alaska.

Kaylene Johnson has done an outstanding job, bringing us "Sarah"! Her book is excellent, giving the reader an "up close and personal" look at Sarah Palin, from childhood to present. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in, not only politics, but getting to know this woman of God!

Interesting book in light of the upcoming election. First half was a very quick read of Sarah's life. Second half dealt with her political activities in Alaska. Sure seemed accurate as I matched the issues and people with current news clips from my local city newspaper.

Well written! I expected a book about politics, but it was about an honest woman and her determination to do what was right. I read it in one sitting, couldn't put it down.
