Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down
Search in google:
Senator John McCain electrified the nation by tapping the relative unknown Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election--and overnight, she s become the candidate everyone s talking about. But who is Sarah Palin--this conservative politician, family advocate, hockey mom, and moose-hunter who may well make history as the first female vice president? In Sarah, the first biography of Palin, author Kaylene Johnson draws upon personal interviews with Palin, her family, and closely placed sources to explore her family life, her upbringing in a devoutly Christian home, her political rise, and how she went from being a long-shot candidate to--potentially--one of the world s most powerful women and political figures. Fox News Network Sarah Palin is a politician of eye-popping integrity.
