It Takes A Village
I am a huge Hillary fan and have her latest book but I have yet to pick up "It Takes A Village". I have heard all the rants about it being socialist propaganda from the right wing but what is this book really about and does it address any certain policies?

2. I haven't
It looks like one of these books that has nothing more to offer after you read the title. Kind of like the movie "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" where all the content is simply to prove the title.

5. soccer moms
and then they put in on the bookshelf with their Dr Phil and other rubbish. Save your money or buy a real book.

And yes it was propaganda which is why it went nowhere, in terms of practical application, with the soccer moms.
