Synopsis
This psychological profile of Hillary Rodham Clinton sees her as always having been a high-achieving person, whether as a student, a lawyer, or as the political partner of Bill Clinton. Based on interviews with people in Arkansas and Washington, D. C., it includes many anecdotes about the person who has been called controlling and difficult. It is especially critical of her tolerance of a continually straying husband, whose infidelities wounded her heart and threatened her dignity. Gail Sheehy is the author of the popular classics PASSAGES and NEW PASSAGES.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Anyone who has known Hillary Clinton, née Rodham, since her budding days remarks on her iron willpower, her desperate ambition to get the best grades, take on the boys, win the competition whatever it may be. What is the source of this inner core of steel?"
Industry Reviews
"In her new book, HILARY'S CHOICE, Gail Sheehy puts the first lady on the shrink's couch. In the course of the book Ms. Sheehy ends up sounding a lot like Dr. Joyce Brothers while her subject comes across as an Oprah guest: a woman who loves too much and plays Wendy to her husband's Peter Pan."
Kakutani
"The book is a handy compendium of all the previous reporting on the Clintons' marriage, and people who have been trapped in a mine for the last few years might find it useful. But for most of the country, reading HILARY'S CHOICE will provide a fuller insight into the meaning of Clinton fatigue."
Collins
"Sheehy is a master at defining the personal as political and the political as personal. A compelling portrait of a marriage."
Reeves
"You cannot know Hillary Clinton without reading this book....Gail Sheehy meticulously peels back the layers of this woman we have so barely misunderstood."
Sherr
"HILARY'S CHOICE is very much biography from the outside in, a method that is especially unsatisfying in the case of a modern political figure whose public appearances are scripted. The sort of context Sheehy provides is immediate and journalistic."
Salon - Peter D. Kramer (12/20/1999)
"Sheehy presents the readers with some interesting new material, especially about Hillary Rodham Clinton's college and law school years. Sheehy makes good use of the letters Hillary wrote...and the interviews she managed to get with Hillary's first love....The rest of the book, though..."
Washington Post Book World - Claire Douglas (01/02/2000)
"This is a low-minded book."
New Yorker - Nicholas Acocella (12/13/1999)
