#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 ClintonThe 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.
