“Her highly personal and reflective memoir…is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world.” — Barack Obama.
'Samantha Power's book is honest, personal, revealing. It is about the development of a young woman's inner strength and self-knowledge. But it is also a political book, alert to both the power of political will and its limitations. It is the journey of an idealist, whose conscience was forged in Bosnia, into the corridors of power where compromise does battle with commitment. It is the story of someone with the soul of an outsider becoming, as an insider, a passionate witness to events in the White House and the United Nations during the Obama years.' - Colm Toibin.
'A celebrated writer and an accomplished diplomat, Samantha Power is one of the most outspoken and important voices in world affairs today. Her new memoir is absorbing, heartfelt, and remarkably candid about the challenges she faced in reconciling her passion for human rights with the realities of governing.' - Madeleine Albright.
'Samantha Power's captivating memoir is a rare and intimate revelation of the inner workings of international diplomacy
as well as a heartening beacon of a book for young women and men everywhere.' - Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin.
