From AudioFile
This year is the tenth anniversary of Hillary Clinton's primer on raising children in the contemporary world. For the most part, this is not the former first lady and presidential hopeful we all know. In a softer, almost neighborly voice, Clinton reveals intimate details about her childhood and the childhood of her husband. She laughs as she relates her father's favorite question to her: "How are you going to dig your way out of this, Hillary?" But she saddens when talking about Bill's life with an abusive, alcoholic stepfather. All of this leads into her main subject--how we can raise a new generation of strong, purposeful young adults. This is a sensible guide for all parents. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
