I apologize if this has been posted already, but I've been out-of-the-loop lately due to family matters. I've been checking the posts here every day (or other day) but there hasn't been much time to post.

Alexander Kerry's book is now available for pre-order on Amazon (release date - August 21st):

An Accidental Activist: My Sudden Collision with Politics (Hardcover)
by Alexandra Kerry (Author)


Book Description
Though steeped all her life in politics because it was her fathers profession, Alexandra Kerry never thought of herself as political. To her, her fathers job was much like that of any other Dad: It was nothing extraordinary. She felt the tides of the various campaigns as they came and went, and naturally noticed the people who were always around the housecampaign managers, aides, strategists. But for most of that time, Alexandra was a young girl, an adolescent, and later, a young woman trying to find her own footing, first as an actress and later as a photographer and filmmaker. That all changed when her father became the Democratic front-runner in the race for president. It was during that time that Alexandra and her sister began to make campaign stops with their father, to submit to press interviews, and eventually to become regulars on the campaign trail as their father crisscrossed the country. At first this was just a role: a daughter supporting a father she loved and believed in. But eventually during the course of an emotional roller coaster of a political campaign, she found herself caring passionately about the voters she was meeting, the issues that were beginning to emerge as the hot buttons of the race. It was in fact during this time that she found herself becoming, for the first time in her life, a true activist. Documenting that journey via photographs and original writing in this, her first book, Alexandra Kerry brings readers inside the political whirlwind up close and personal: What did it feel like to see her father attacked by the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth? What did she learn about America and its people? How did it feel to see her father come so close to becoming president, and then to watch him concede? This fascinating chronicle is sure to captivate political junkies as well as the everyday reader interested in knowing more about the country, its voters, and the author herself.

I seem to remember that the publication date was originally set for like October 2006, but it has obviously been bumped up. I'm really looking forward to this one.

3. It hasn't come up in an Amazon search like this before.

It came up when I searched for "This Moment on Earth" and they are actually pairing it with TMOE. The publisher and or Amazon may be hoping to capitalize on the benefits of the success of TMOE.
