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. Rice reflects on her family struggles in Washington, D.C., and the ancestral legacies that shaped her, highlighting the high expectations set by her immigrant and enslaved ancestors. Rising rapidly through the ranks, she became one of the youngest assistant secretaries of state during the Clinton administration and a trusted advisor to President Obama. Rice provides an insider's perspective on complex issues over three decades, including "Black Hawk Down," the Rwanda genocide, and the Ebola epidemic, along with insights into national security challenges like confrontations with Russia and China. With candor and humor, she concludes with a call for Americans to bridge domestic divides to preserve democracy and sustain global leadership.
