The Joy of Politics: Surviving Cancer, a Campaign, a Pandemic, an Insurrection, and Life’s Other Unexpected Curveballs

An intimate and revelatory memoir on personal challenges, political turmoil, and the state of American democracy from one of the most effective voices in politics, Amy Klobuchar. In her candid, honest, and at times bitingly funny memoir, the pragmatic senator shares insider stories from historic moments, while also inviting readers into her personal life. At the crux of these stories is a narrative of resilience, of personal resilience and the resilience of a nation, and, improbably, joy.

AMY KLOBUCHAR, the daughter of a newspaperman and a schoolteacher, is the senior senator from Minnesota, the first woman from that state to be elected to the U.S. Senate. A national leader in the Democratic party, she ran for president in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary and has a well-earned reputation for working across the aisle to pass legislation that supports families, workers and businesses. She and her husband, John, have a daughter, Abigail.
