A Fighting Chance by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren was a book club pick. In always like when the author is the narrator of the audiobook because only s/he can really give emphasis where it is truly intended. There was an earnestness, an authenticity that engaged me to Warren herself.
A Fighting Chance is an autobiographical journey of how Warren’s beliefs were formed, how they shaped her political views, and how she took action to fight for the middle class. As a law professor, she researched bankruptcy issues and became an expert called to Washington DC to advise congress rewrite bankruptcy laws. Realizing she needed to be even more active in protecting consumers, she ran for the MA State Senate. She details the awful politics involved in the campaign, her anguish, her connections with voters.
This was an educational and interesting book. I think Warren should run for President. She’s qualified, smart, thinks critically, and has the best interests of people at heart. I would absolutely vote for her.
