America by Heart

Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag

De: Sarah Palin

Narrado por: Sarah Palin

America by Heart is a highly personal testament to Sarah Palin's deep love of country, her strong roots in faith, and her profound appreciation of family. The book includes brief readings from classic and contemporary works that have moved and inspired her, as well as other Americans, both famous and obscure, whom she admires.

Ranging widely over American history, culture, and current affairs, Governor Palin reflects on the key values that have been such an essential part of her own life and that continue to inform her vision of America's future.

Superb follow-up to "Going Rogue" - for Patriots

I'm sorry folks, but never has there been a potential national candidate willing to tell us virtually everything about her life and loves. Add her Television show (yea, I know it was created as entertainment by the producer of "Survivor") and you can't help but realize that her extended friends and family over generations have created a real gem in pretty Sarah.


Although she has said she didn't intend to let anyone know if she was running in 2012 until the end of September 2011, our "terribly rude" press continue to act as though she has missed her time. I feel she is saving us millions of dollars while stringing along the press who haven't got anything nice to say about a person who truly wants to make a real change. After she announces her candidacy (I'm assuming) she will hear nothing flattering about anything connected to her. I call this the Kate Smith syndrome - as in the shampoo ad where she said "Don't hate me because I'm Beautiful!"


In this book I also, like others writing reviews, thought that she was a bit heavy on religion during the second half of the book. This will certainly also be used against her - BUT - she continues to refer to the founding Fathers and the Documents which all refer to our God, our Guide, our Protector. These thoughts simply tell me that she agrees with Jefferson and Monroe and FDR, we need someone who can head us back in that direction. In fact, after reading the book, I still do not know what Religion she ascribes to. Simply Christian values. I would love to work with her campaign.

Great book made even better by a great reader

Gov Palin does a great job narating this book. You can tell that it flows from her inmost part, and that there's an unquenchable optimism about her that the left will never understand or care to know.

Not so different as you might think

Personally, I found it enlightening as to her position on life. She seems very centered about how things logically progress and what it might take to get there. My only weakness is that toward the end she demonstrates very religious views, and while I personally support her ability to believe and practice as she wishes in her personal life, the idea of pushing those views on others certainly seems possible. Its a fine line between those who would believe they are acting correctly and forcing that way onto others as experience has shown. Certainly worth reading or listening to if you really want to develop a factual opinion on who and what she is. She makes no bones about who she is and that is certainly different from the other political rank and file that would have you believe they stand in your field with you, no matter who "you" are.

I loved this book

It's especially nice to hear the author telling the story, it's more like a conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Sarah Palin and find her a fascinating, honest and REAL person with real issues and problems, but with a faith she relies on.

Exceptional Look on the Exceptionalism of America

This is what you'd expect from someone that loves America as much as Sarah Palin, but what you do not expect is her candid look at America's flaws. the writer uses many illustrations and quotes from great leaders of the past to demonstrate that America is not exceptional because America is perfect but America is exceptional because of America's foundations, families, and faith. The reader will enjoy a glimpse at Palin's family and her common sense approach.

From The Heart

A great book read by a great woman. I am glad that Cain brought her to the forefront. I don't care what they say about Sarah Palin. This woman cares about America and our basic values. This is a credit well spent. Thank you, Sarah! Great book!

Another excellent book by Sarah

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would... For my friends who share a common interest in Sarah and her family I would recommend this to them for them to enjoy!

What did you like best about this story?

Her honesty and way of telling her story.

Have you listened to any of Sarah Palin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I enjoy them equally as well.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

too many to narrow down.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait to read more of her writing.

A CREDIT WELL SPENT

To have a woman so beautiful talk for seven hours and not say a single word that I disagree with is pretty darn special. You gotta respect this lady???s resolve. In my fifty-four years I???ve not seen a public figure continuously savaged in such a foul manner. But, it???s like Rush says, the left always lets you know who they fear most. Sara palin has my prayers, support and vote.

Another Great Book!

This book was even better than the first and full of insights into Sarah Palin's view of America and Americans that are in stark contrast to the media and the left. I love that she did the unabridged version herself which gives us a chance to hear the whole book straight from the author. This is a great book if you want to know what she is really about. It was well written and covered many areas. Great Book!

Loved it!

What did you love best about America by Heart?

Well told real life stories about an American family.

What was one of the most memorable moments of America by Heart?

When Sara talks about her children, it's heart felt.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I listened to it while I was working.
