This woman is brilliant. The book tells you things you wouldn't otherwise know about her life growing up and background. An inspiring must read for parents raising children and young people everywhere.

Man, little did I know that Condi(that's what insiders call her) could read music notes before she could read English. Wow! That's talent. And, the fact that she went to college(even if it was Denver) at age 15 speaks volumes in and of itself for the sheer genius of Condi. Seemingly on the road to being a world-renowned concert pianist, Condi unexpectedly(and thankfully for our sake!) altered her course of action, and that of our nation, when she changed majors and went into international affairs. The ping pong story of her throwing a fit and smashing her paddle after losing to an older boy at age 12 is just one of the many funny anecdotes that shows her zeal and fervor(and not to mention that had Joseph O'Brien laughing out loud like I was at a comedy show or something, man). Kudos to Linda Wade for writing such a revealing and riveting book - and to Condi for providing us with the massively titillating subject matter! Good stuff.
