Great to have a book that offers a collective perspective on such an historic day. There are several established writers who contributed; a pro athlete; high school students; and so on. Favorite pieces are the first-hand accounts of the day in D.C. Very cool this book could be put out so fast!

I loved reading the insights from the variety of contributing authors in this impressive collection. I was moved to tears by the emotional journeys that led many authors to that historic day. And, I laughed out loud at some of the more light-hearted, sweet, and endearing moments.

This book makes a great commemorative piece for yourself or as a gift for those who were moved and exhilerated by Obama's unlikely triumph, and the subsequent hope that his presidency has brought to this great nation.

The warmth, humor and feelings of a nation are so well expressed here. This book added to my own sense of celebration over an extremely important historical event. A must for collectors (I wish I'd kept my dad's Kennedy campaign buttons) and those who want to preserve the event for future generations in a unique way.

This book is very interesting, written by some seasoned writers and some new ones represented by all ages. One author stands out, leaving me to seach for more of his work, Brian Frederick is his name and I think you will be seeing more of him in the near future!
