I would have given this a 3.5 stars.
This is a powerful story with many hidden gems of wisdom.
It is a story of a woman, I am proud to say is a role model for my own daughters. A woman who knows what hard work is, the importance of family, and knowing what ideals to cling to when you are blessed with power and influence.

There is a lot of unnecessary detail that doesn't add to the story. The story is a chronology of her life from childhood to leaving the White House. It was interesting to learn how her children adapted to security while attending school and after school activities with friends.
