Going Rogue: An American Life HarperCollins One year ago Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet Yet even now few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is / On September 3 2008 Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world / As chief executive of Americas largest state she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about Energy independence Ethics reform And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U S history And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations Palin also beat the political good ol boys club at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel / Like her GOP running mate John McCain Palin wasnt a packaged and over-produced candidate She was a Main Street American woman a working mom wife of a blue collar union man and mother of five children the eldest of whom was serving his country in a yearlong deployment in Iraq and the youngest an infant with special needs Palins hometown story touched a populist nerve rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket / But as the campaign unfolded Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism Supporters called her refreshing and honest a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin / In this eagerly anticipated memoir Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska meeting her lifelong love her decision to enter politics the importance of faith and family and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race providing a rare moms-eye view of high-stakes national politics from patriots dedicated to Country First to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost / Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizens extraordinary journey and imparts Palins vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest

a copy of John Grisham s latest fiction It surprised me that the book was comprised of seven short stories From the time I first began publishing at Doubleday they have always made sure that I received a copy of a Grisham book long before it went on sale in the bookstores He has written 22 books and I ve read them all as soon as they were available in crisp review copies / I have loved the Grisham books for the same reason that I love the works of John Irving Richard Russo or Anne Rivers Siddons I get hooked by an early page and pure habit forces me to read until I am issued my walking papers and can return to my normal life These writers are all wish-bringers who cast spells with the bright enchantment of their stories and the power of story has retained its glamour and necessity for me I ve always liked it when Grisham took a sabbatical from his impressive fiction to romp in the field of sports or non-fiction / John surprised me by entering the ring of danger that the short story represents for all writers In the world of writing the poets come first as they finger the language like worry beads and wonder where their next meal is coming from The art of the short story

COUNTERTERRORISM / / ig r / The action begins six days after a series of explosions devastated Washington D C targeting the National Counterterrorism Center and killing 185 people including public officials and CIA employees It was a bizarre act of extreme violence that called for extreme measures on the part of elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his trusted team member Mike Nash Now that the initial shock of the catastrophe is over key Washington officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the agents who stepped between the enemys bullets and countless American lives regardless of the legal consequences Not for the first time Rapp finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians whose view from the sidelines is inevitably obstructed Meanwhile three of the al Qaeda terrorists are still at large and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary No one knows the personal physical and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp When he sees Nash cracking under the pressure of the mission and the memories of the horrors he witnessed during the terrorist attack he makes a call he hopes will save his friend assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill and get him one step closer to the enemy before its too late Once again Rapp proves himself to be a hero unafraid to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence The Salt Lake Tribune for our countrys safety for the sake of freedom for the pursuit of honor
