About this item

Michele Bachmann is one of the most compelling leaders in America. But despite all the magazine covers and cable television stories, most people dont know who she really is, where she comes from, or what she believes. So she decided to tell her own story and let the reader decide. As youll learn in this fascinating memoir, Bachmann wasnt the type of kid who started dreaming about the White House in elementary school. She grew up in Iowa and Minnesota as a typical midwestern girl, grounded by her family and her faith. She was raised to believe in the American dream that anyone could succeed if they worked hard and took advantage of this countrys boundless opportunities. She followed her dreams to college and law school, pursued a career as a federal tax attorney, started a successful business with her loving husband, raised five great kids and over time twenty-three foster children.
