Product Description
Synopsis
This is an in-depth look at the life and achievements of one of America's most fascinating women, Condoleezza Rice, who rose from humble beginnings in racially segregated Alabama to become a accomplished classical pianist, Stanford University professor and provost, US national security advisor, and Secretary of State. In this gripping and inspiring book, Mary Beth Brown explores the roles played in Condi's life by her parents, mentors, faith, and key events and shows how those things have prepared her for her present position of power and global influence.

Condi: The life of a steel Magnolia
26 Jan 2008
Format:Hardcover
A "Condi" is a book for all readers. I found the book inspirational, interesting, and entertaining. Not only did I learn more about the "black" experience in the south, but I learned about the winning solution to inequalities. Condi's parents knew this all along, education and hard work.
Every parent that wants their children to turn into wonderful adults should read this book. Every little girl in America should read this book. Unlike the female characters of the pop culture world, this is the type of women that I want my girls to emulate. Although, she is beautiful, she carries herself with respect and dignity wherever she goes. This book has made a wonderful impact on me. Thank you MB Brown.

WHAT A READ!
8 April 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Whether Republican or Democrat, (or other), white or black (or other), male or female, I think every reader will find this a most interesting book about a very unique person. There were a few surprises in the book, which I had never heard from any other source. The author did a great job of tracing Condoleeza's rise from her segregated upbringing in the deep south of the 60's to her becoming Secretary of State. Great book!

Inspirational
24 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
As soon as I finished this informative biography, I instructed my both of my daughters to read it. Dr Rice is exactly the kind of role model I want for them.
This is an interesting bio not only for the light it sheds on the winning of the cold war, but more so in the instruction to the pathway to success and greatness. Before I read this bio I was a fan of Dr. Rice but now she is my hero.
