Passing It On: Unexpected Lessons through Divorce, Blended Families and Public Life

by Susan G. Baker

This updated and expanded edition of Susan Baker’s popular spiritual autobiography includes three new chapters and ten new photos. The new material covers lessons she has learned since her successful battle with cancer, candid advice to men about how to be good husbands, and advice to all of us on how to resolve conflicts by living more honestly and in a more godly way. Wife of former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, the leader (with Tipper Gore and others) of the campaign for warning labels on music albums with violent, drug-oriented, and sexually explicit lyrics, and cofounder of what is today known as the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the public story of Susan G. Baker is well known. This is the private story—a story of a difficult divorce, remarriage, and the struggle to blend eight children into a new family. The story recounts her struggles with faith and her stormy relationship with God.
