Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty
by Hillary Rodham Clinton
View on GoodreadsClinton writes these essays as if you're sitting across from her at a dinner party. The subjects are the ones that follow a 2016 loss: aging and grief, her Methodist faith, a marriage of nearly five decades, and letting go of wanting to be president.

- Democracy at risk: She warns American voters directly about threats to democracy, with Vladimir Putin, polarization and the overturning of Roe v. Wade in view.
