Hillary Clinton is set to publish a deeply personal essay collection dubbed “Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love and Liberty,” where she delves into her life experiences ranging from her marriage to her political career to her religious beliefs. Simon and Schuster, the book’s publisher, announced the launch date as September 17, heralding the work as Clinton’s most intimate.
In the forthcoming book, Clinton offers insights into her life with Bill Clinton, her Methodist upbringing, adapting to a life away from the political limelight following her presidential campaign disappointments, her relationships with fellow first ladies, and her perspectives on global issues like climate change, democracy, and Vladimir Putin.
Described by Clinton’s editor, Priscilla Painton, the book promises to showcase a side of Clinton that resonates with many Americans – insightful, witty, passionate, and always in pursuit of learning, with a touch of self-deprecating humor.
Aside from her ventures as a former first lady, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and presidential hopeful, Clinton plans to take her narrative across the country through a promotional tour. Her upcoming release paves the way for Bill Clinton’s memoir, “Citizen,” which focuses on his life after the presidency, set to launch two months after hers.
While specifics of the financial agreement remain undisclosed, Clinton was represented by notable Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, who has a history of representing high-profile figures including former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Clinton has previously penned several bestsellers, including “It Takes a Village,” “Living History,” and “What Happened,” further cementing her influence in both the political and literary worlds.
