Product Description
In Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned the Political Establishment Upside-Down, the first biography released of Governor Palin, author Kaylene Johnson draws upon personal interviews with Palin, her family, and other highly placed sources to explore Palin's family life, her upbringing in a devout Christian home, her political rise, and how she went from being a long-shot candidate to--potentially--one of the world's most powerful women and political figures. The book features dozens of family and political photos and contains source notes.
Kaylene Johnson is an award-winning author and a longtime Alaskan who makes her home on a small farm outside Wasilla. Her articles have appeared in Alaskan Wilderness Discovery Guide, Alaska magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Spirit magazine, and other publications. She received a BA from Vermont College and holds an MFA in Writing from Spalding University.

 She'd make a good president, but George W Bush is better. December 26, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Sarah Palin would make a great presidential candidate, except for the fact that Bush has done a great job the past 8 years. Sarah Palin knows politics like Michael Jordan knew how to play baseball, like a champion! Plus, Sarah Palin is a down to earth person, which makes me like her even more. I feel so bad for her that her Yahoo! mail got hacked, with a hard password like 'popcorn', you'd expect her to be safe on the internet, lols!
George W. Bush/Sarah Palin for 2008 election!
Why Would Anyone Want To Read A Book About A Washed Up Politician? December 24, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Why in the world do people actually think she was a good candidate for Vice President? Are the American people becoming that brain-dead? Anyone who thought she was a good pick for VP, my question to you is do you honestly believe she has the intelligence to lead a country if something happened to John McCain?
This woman was a menace from the first day I laid eyes on her. She is everything that is wrong with this country. She's a radical, moose-killing, gun-toting, glorified redneck with a bad case what I call "airhead syndrome."
She's the main reason McCain lost the election. Well, she has plenty of time to play the role of "hockey mom" now doesn't she?
 Must read for each conservative on your list December 19, 2008

For people who just can't get enough Sarah Palin news! I bought as one of several birthday presents but this is the one present the person enjoyed most! She could not wait to read! Great gift for anyone who enjoys reading about a self made woman--quite an accomplishment in politics these days!!
Great book about a great person! December 16, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Sarah Palin. She's such a genuine individual and very talented and down-to-earth. Thanks for writing this book.
A positive outline of an amazing political success December 9, 2008

A short book (only 145 pages) for a short career. The author does not attempt to probe too deeply. She provides a brief history of Sarah Palin's "... unlikely rise to Alaska's highest office.", and a brief biography of the young Governor along the way. The message of the book is a positive advertisement for democracy. It worked in this instance. The voters of Alaska got the change they were looking for (so far).
