There have been so many books written about our former First Lady of AR, First Lady of our country, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Not all in good light I might add. If you look at the picture on the cover of the book you will see an older lady. The lines on her face are there because she has given almost her whole life to helping others. Look into her eyes and you will find the love she has for our country and her family.
The author shows us what has made her the woman she is today. Starting from her early years growing up with her parents. Her father ruled with an iron hand. He made know concessions when it came to his children. Hillary was the only girl but was treated like her brothers in many ways. When it came to school work a B was not accepted in the Rodham home. It had to be all A’s.
I lived in AR for a few years and read what reporters said about her. She was ripped apart on many things. Everything from the way she dressed, to why she put up with Bill Clinton and his women.
Hillary is a strong woman but she is human just like the rest of us. She feels pain, she cries when no one is around. People seem to forget her many accomplishments she has done.

Arch of the Universe by Mark Whiteway
After the death of his wife Sarah, Quinn decided it would be best for him and his son Conor, to leave their home and start over again on another planet. They joined a group of 12,000 humans headed away from the planet Eire and the colony world orbiting Kapten’s Star. They were going to Hades-7
They were not far out when all of a sudden they were under attack. Lights flashing and parts of their ship were falling apart. You could see people being pulled out into space. Quinn quickly grabbed his son and they headed towards the life boat station. When they were in their suits they started to talk about some things they never had before. Things they should of said to each other. How much they both hurt from the loss of Quinn’s wife and Conor’s mother.
Quinn kept talking about how sorry he was for not really asking his son if he wanted to leave. Then Quinn looked at Conor and notice he looked pale. His suit read CO2. So quickly Quinn took off the tubes that were filled with oxygen on his suit and then put it in his son’s. He laid his visor on top of Conor’s. He knew they were both going to die.
From here on is when this story really takes off. Quinn finds himself in a white room and has no idea of how he got there. Then Conor comes walking in and while Quinn is happy to see his son he also has questions. When Quinn ask him how he was still alive he was told that Conor was dead. But the neuronal connections-the memories, the emotions, the essence of Conor had not fully decayed. They had managed to preserve him. Quinn is not so sure of that. He still sees his son at times, but won’t, or can’t believe that Conor is dead. you think you have the answers to this book, and it is changed by a simply two or three words. The attention to every detail in this book is an amazing job by the author. The character development is brilliant.
You will find aliens that you have to exercise your mind when trying to figure out who is good and who is bad. Just when you think you have it all figured out, the author takes a turn and you are back to square one.
The author is one of the best Sci/ Fi writers of our time. I am always amazed by his talent, and where he comes up with his stories.
