Recalling pivotal moments from her dynamic career in American diplomacy, Susan E. Rice, former National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, shares an inspiring account of her life dedicated to family and country. Often mischaracterized by political opponents, Rice reveals her true story with unflinching honesty, emerging as a strong, compassionate leader rather than a villain or victim. As a mother, wife, scholar, and diplomat, she connects her personal and professional journeys, sharing wisdom learned from her experiences as an African American woman in competitive settings.

With candor and humor, she concludes with a call for Americans to bridge domestic divides to preserve democracy and sustain global leadership.
