Review
"Wildly Popular, she's more than just a pretty face."
From the Publisher
Sarah Palin made history as the first woman ever to serve on a Republican presidential ticket. The nation is clamoring for information about Sarah. Who is she? How did she rise to her current prominence?
Only one book has the answer: SARAH: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down (EAN 9780980082562)
In Sarah, we learn that she is a former Wasilla High School basketball star, ex-beauty queen, and one-time journalist who wears a killer smile, designer glasses, and high heels. She rides in a 2,000-very-cold-mile snow machine race every year called the Iron Dog. She has filled more than a few freezers with moose that she shot herself, and she prefers caribou steaks to beef tenderloins.
Her husband is part Alaska Native, a roughneck on the North Slope, and the family fishes commercially each year on Bristol Bay. Last, but not least--as her adversaries learned painfully--she has the political instincts of a seasoned pro and an independent streak a mile long.
"Sarah Palin is a politician of eye-popping integrity."
--Fox News Network
"Wildly Popular, she's more than just a pretty face."
--Alaska magazine
"There's an undeniable national buzz surrounding the first-term governor, seen by many Republicans as a fresh, new face to represent the party's future."
--Chicago Tribune
