Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. #1 New York Times Bestseller"This book is from the heart of a woman who practices each lesson she preaches. It struck a deep chord in me as a mother trying to raise a daughter in difficult times." -- Hillary Clinton The Measure of Our Success is a book to turn lives around: a compassionate message for parents trying to raise moral children, a tough and searching book that ought to be required reading for every young American.The book speaks powerfully to the author's three sons about the mothering Marian Wright Edelman gave them--mothering, she explains, that could not ignore other people's children who were in greater need. In the book's centerpiece, "Twenty-Five Lessons for Life," we're invited to listen as a loving and extraordinarily committed mother gives her children lessons to live by. The Measure of Our Success is an open letter to all America, and a timely message of hope and purpose for everyone. The author, the founder and president of the US Children's Defense Fund, has written a personal letter to her three sons which is filled with simple yet inspirational messages about life. Its maxims attempt to deliver valuable lessons and a sense of purpose to all those who read them. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
