TRUE GRETCH: Young Adult Edition by Gretchen Whitmer

 

The cover states, "Lessons for anyone who wants to make a difference." This young adult edition of TRUE GRETCH does convey Gretchen Whitmer's desire to make a difference in the lives of others, especially for those who live in her beloved state of Michigan.

Governor Whitmer relates stories about her childhood, her grandmother and grandfather, her parents, and her siblings. Experiences and lessons learned early on have stayed with this honest, straightforward leader of the state of Michigan. 

Readers will be treated to Whitmer's ever-present sense of humor even as she tells of the difficult times in her personal and political life. Whitmer tells about her frustrations during the COVID pandemic and the decisions she made to hopefully keep the residents of Michigan as safe as possible. She shares her fears, especially for her family, when threatened by people violently disagreeing with her decisions. Whitmer also tells stories about her campaigns and the team she credits with her successes.

TRUE GRETCH (young adult edition) is perfect for high school readers interested in learning more about a current female politician and her path to success.
