Critical Reception
- "Mrs. Cheney says she knows her grandchildren cannot live as she once did, but her touching memoir makes one wish that they and other young Americans might possess what she evokes so well as she tells her own and her family's story: the resiliency to deal with challenges, the determination to do one's best, and an optimism about their future and America's future." - Myrna Blyth, National Review
- "The political backlash embroiling the Cheneys will no doubt stunt this book's potential; staunch supporters, however, will gladly eat it up." - Kirkus Reviews
