Summary of Lisa Rogak's Rachel Maddow

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Rachel Anne Maddow was born on April Fools’ Day 1973. She was a pretty lively kid, and she never talked baby talk. She was born grown-up, and she never cared about anything or anyone except causes and people that were overlooked. #2 When she was young, Rachel watched her fair share of Saturday morning cartoons, but what really caught her eye were the educational segments known as Schoolhouse Rock!, a series of three-minute animated shorts that aired on ABC. #3 When she moved to California, Rachel was shocked to find that her liberal values were in stark contrast with the conservative values of the majority of the population. She was a jock, and she knew she was destined for more than a one-dimensional life. #4 When she was sixteen, Rachel finally admitted to herself that she was a lesbian. She knew it would be difficult for her parents to accept her, but she was relieved. She wanted to leave Castro Valley.
