HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

A middle-grade biography about Hillary Rodham Clinton – First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and potential Democratic Candidate for President in 2016.

Hillary Clinton is a powerhouse. A breaker of barriers and a true public servant, she is an example to girls and women around the world. Raised in Park Ridge, Illinois, Hillary was a girl who worked harder than anyone else – and a girl who listened to as many people as she could. Inspired by the philosophy of John Wesley, and a piece of treasured family wisdom to “Do all the good you can,” Hillary has made herself a force of good in the world.

From working on Nixon’s impeachment trial, to becoming First Lady of the United States, and later Secretary of State – traveling around the world to meet with presidents, prime ministers, and international royalty, Hillary has been at the forefront of huge change – leading our nation every step of the way. Despite personal setbacks and political scandal, she has continued to strive and change the world.

Acclaimed author Cynthia Levinson creates a compelling and comprehensive portrait of Hillary’s historic journey from her childhood to her time in the White House and beyond.
