Download Ten Letters: The Stories Americans Tell Their President AudioBook Free
Every day, Leader Obama reads ten representative characters among the thousands he gets from citizens across the land. The characters come from people of all ages, strolls of life, and politics items of view. Some are heartbreaking, some furious, some hopeful. Indeed, Obama reads as many letters resolved "Dear Jackass" as "Dear Mr. Leader." Eli Saslow, a young and rising star at the Washington Post, became fascinated by the power of the letters and set out to find the stories behind them. Through the zoom lens of ten characters to which Obama responded personally, this remarkably relevant and poignant book explores those specific stories, taking an detailed look at the misfortunes, needs, views, and, yes, anger over the current state of the united states that influenced ten visitors to put pen to paper. Astonishingly, what also emerges from these affecting personal narratives is a story about the incredible endurance and optimism of the American people. Ten Characters can be an inspiring and important book about ordinary people and the problems they face every day - the issues that are shaping America's future. This isn't an insider Washington book at all, but a book for the times that tells the true American stories of today. From the Hardcover edition.
