This fascinating memoir of Condoleezza Rice begins as she reminisces in detail about her childhood and upbringing. She grew up in the violent 1960’s, in a place where black people weren’t allowed to integrate with their white neighbors and where daily murder was just an ordinary affair. In the beginning of the book, she talks a great deal about her parents and how they devoted their lives to their precious daughter in the hopes that she would be able to achieve success. As the memoir progresses, you’ll notice how her early experiences as a child influenced her political beliefs and how they helped her develop into the happy and successful woman she is today.
This book truly illustrates what an incredibly strong and inspiring women Condoleezza Rice really is. Her achievements are immense and this memoir proves it. She worked hard to reach her goals and she shows you that it was thanks in part to her ambitious parents, who were great role models. I liked her general perspective on things and how she isn’t one to act superior, despite her major successes.
