Über diesen Titel
“Two paths diverged—Lisa Murkowski took the one less traveled. In Far from Home, we see how the solitary course she chose has made all the difference.”—Senator Mitt Romney
Lisa Murkowski has repeatedly stood at the center of our nation’s most challenging issues, serving as a swing vote and a voice willing to challenge the president, regardless of who holds the office. In this candid memoir that offers hope for a functional Washington, she guides readers through the defining events of her more than twenty-year career: her beginnings in Alaska and appointment to the U.S. Senate, the rise of the Tea Party and her historic 2010 write-in reelection campaign, and the pivotal events of the Trump era, including her vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court, the 2020 election, January 6, the impeachment trials, the overturning of Roe, and Trump’s second election.
Written at a time when Americans’ trust in their institutions is in crisis, Far from Home is a candid account of how things get done in Washington. It is an uplifting narrative for anyone seeking reassurance that our political system can still work.
Kritikerstimmen
“From the beginning of my time in the Senate in 2010, to my last day in 2025, Lisa Murkowski has been there—an excellent and fair leader, and a true friend. I have never met a person who I thought was more truly the epitome of what a senator should be. She was always motivated by love for her state of Alaska and love for her country. If you can’t become friends with Lisa Murkowski, then you have to look in the mirror and see what’s wrong with yourself—because she’s the best of the best, always seeking to move things forward, and fair to everyone, Democrat or Republican.”—Senator Joe Manchin
“Two paths diverged—Lisa Murkowski took the one less traveled. In Far from Home, we see how the solitary course she chose has made all the difference, for the people of Alaska and for the country. Values imbued in her youth formed the character that withstood the flattering, the corruption, the gridlock, and the temptations of Washington. Murkowski reveals why the country has so often been unable to address looming challenges and how instead, people of character can overcome the self-interest and partisanship of politics to actually do great things.”—Senator Mitt Romney
“A fascinating read of some of the most tumultuous times in our nation’s political history. At a time when the idea of an honest, courageous, and competent politician seems a fantasy, Lisa Murkowski shows us exactly what that means. Not only does the senator tell of her journey from Alaska to the U.S. Senate, but she reminds the reader that ordinary people can make a difference, and that sticking to your principles, though at times controversial, can even get you reelected! Her love for her home state is clear, as is her commitment to always act in the best interests of her state and her country. A compelling read, Far from Home is an important reminder that good people can win, especially when we work together.”—Christine Todd Whitman
