Hillary Rodham Clinton
About this listen
For more than 35 years, Senator Clinton has made children her passion and her cause. Her long experience has strengthened her conviction that how children develop and what they need to succeed are inextricably entwined with the society in which they live and how well it sustains and supports its families and individuals. In other words, it takes a village to raise a child.
In her new introduction, Senator Clinton reflects on how our village has changed over the last decade, from the impact of the Internet to new research in early childhood development and education. She discusses issues of increasing concern (security, the environment, the national debt) and looks at where we have made progress and where there is still work to be done.
It Takes a Village has become a classic. As relevant as ever, this anniversary edition makes it abundantly clear that the choices we make today about how we raise our children and how we support families will determine how our nation will face the challenges of this century.

After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state. There is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president.

"Here is Betty White - a woman who has been on television forever!" is generally how Betty White is introduced. And quite accurately, too, since she first appeared in 1949, when both she and television were rank beginners. Since then, she has had one of the most amazing careers in TV, winning five Emmy awards, creating such unforgettable characters as Sue Ann Nivens and Rose Nylund, and appearing in a host of television classics.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

Story
In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a Black African father and a White American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a Black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father - a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man - has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey - first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Too robotic to be a grammy award winner
Would you try another book from Hillary Rodham Clinton and/or Hillary Rodham Clinton?
Yes
What did you like best about this story?
I appreciate the important overall message of this book, and I'm glad Ms Clinton wrote it.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Hillary has such a nice, clear voice - but her performance was distractingly robotic. I was so disappointed, I was expecting a grammy-worthy performance.
Do you think It Takes a Village needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No

I loved the book. It provides tremendous ideas about how everyone one of us is responsible for the next generation. Applicable to every nation.
If you want more of these ideas you need to read the book, as the audio version was greatly reduced.

I struggle to finish
This book was a long story of how government has failed children and parents and the community.

Important Piece
This is an important piece reflecting both the state of affairs at the time of the writing and important timeless principles that are even more important in this digital age. HRC's narrative abilities have come a long way since this recording!

Passionate & so much insight!
This book moved me with the realization that our most cherished thing we have are our children, The “Village”, comprised of one’s local Town, State and Federal government must be there for the families who need help. We cannot just assume things will be OK. I’m making this required reading for my kids!

Abridged Copy for Audiobooks
I will be returning. No where did it note that Audiobook copy was Abridged. I need to read the entire book for a book club.
This version should be free for Audiobook subscribers.
