Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin

One year ago, Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet. Yet even now, few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is.

On September 3, 2008 Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world.

As chief executive of America’s largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political "good ol' boys club" at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel.

Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn’t a packaged and over-produced candidate. She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue-collar union man, and mother of five children, the eldest of whom is serving his country in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin’s hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket.

But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Supporters called her "refreshing" and "honest," a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin.

In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom’s-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to "Country First" to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.

Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey and imparts Palin’s vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.

    Happily received your book for Xmas from my wonderful husband.  As I read it, I realize, I'd be blessed to have been one of your "elite 6".  God bless you Sarah.  I know he will lead you in your future in politics and in life.  Thanks for writing your book, and for serving.  You are a fine example of what honesty, love and grace is.

    Oh that's Silly we all know who Sarah is She's a fine politician who has the amazing popularity she
    does because of her integrity and her religeous beliefs.She's a Christian and hers convictions keep
    her anchored in favorable Waters.Although at the Same time ....She's a Lady......And Unfortunutly
    She may well be affected by the people who are viciously opposed too her.. ..but yeah I'm looking
    forward too her book ....it always seems to be more of an Comfortable atmosphere when Sarahs in
    the works....Just like I suppose when my sibs and me were small it was a comfort to have my Mom
    Around as the wise leader of our house ,while Dad was in Veitnam

    Wonderful! Can't wait. FINALLY a political bio worth reading!
    All fingers crossed that she'll make a run for 2012. Dems will
    scream she quit because she couldn't take the pressure. What
    she didn't want to take was Alaskan taxpayers money while she
    pursued a wider political career and would need to come more often
    to the lower 48. It took integrity. Ah, no wonder Dems don't get it!
