About this item

An intimate and revelatory memoir -- on personal challenges, political turmoil, and the state of American democracy -- from one of the most effective voices in politics, Amy Klobuchar.. During the past few years, as our country has faced unprecedented challenges, Senator Klobuchar has been in the room where it happens -- on the Senate floor for critical votes during the pandemic, at the debate podium during one of the most critical presidential elections in US history, and in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when insurrectionists stormed the building, interrupting the certification of the electoral college. It was well past midnight when Klobuchar stood beside then-Vice President Pence to officially certify President Biden's victory.. In her candid, honest, and at times bitingly funny memoir, the pragmatic senator shares insider stories from these historic moments, while also inviting readers into her personal life.
