Karen Blumenthal attempts, in this biography, to get behind the public face of Hillary Clinton, to show readers the real Hillary, both her struggles and her strengths. While many readers may be aware of the 21st century Hillary, this book takes us back to the very beginning, showing how she has always been a force to be reckoned with, someone who always strives to make a given situation better. Blumenthal highlights Hillary's dedication to her religious beliefs, her struggles with her relationship with Bill, and the constant battle between staying true to herself while attempting to meet the demands of the American people (through her appearance, her job, and her family).
The back matter of this book is great, including a timeline of Hillary's life and an extensive bibliography showing where Blumenthal drew her facts and conclusions. In young adult non-fiction, it is so important to show accurate information and citation formats, and this book does an great job!
While this book is wonderful, it should be taken into account that it is biased in Hillary's favor. Those who do not side with Hillary's politics and ideologies may not find this biography accurate in its depictions of certain events or controversies. But remember, there are always two sides to every side, particularly when dealing with politics!
