Overview

Small town hockey player and Governor Palin's almost son-in-law, Levi Johnston is only seventeen when Palin becomes the vice-presidential nominee. And his dreams of either being a professional hockey player or a back-country guide are permanently derailed when his high school romance becomes the highlight of the 2008 Republican National Convention. Sarah Palin, the former vice-presidential nominee, initially welcomed Levi as her future son-in law, but as her campaign soured so did her feelings towards him. By the time her daughter gave birth to Levi's son, Sarah was out of the race and in full attack mode. Bullied, lied about, and outspent in the courts when he attempts to bond with his new son, this book is Johnston's graceful answer to the woman who him made the most hated man in Alaska. Johnston, ever-honest, had a unique window into Palintology at a critical time; he sat at the kitchen table and paid attention. With a mature perspective and complete frankness, he is ready to bare all in order to clear his name and set the record straight for his son. The result is a humorous, poignant book about a widely misunderstood young man who was thrust into the spotlight and forced to grow up too soon.
