SynopsisA candid, down-to-earth account of Iowa junior senator and veteran Joni Ernst's journey from farm girl to politician, and how those values inform her current political career in Washington, DC. The daughter of hardworking farmers, Joni Ernst has never been afraid of rolling up her sleeves and getting her hands dirty. Raised in rural Iowa, a typical day of chores involved cleaning stalls, hauling grain, and even castrating hogs. While this may sound like a far cry from a life in politics, growing up on a farm was Joni's initiation into American values. Joni developed grit and farm-bred tenacity, attributes that served her well both as a Lieutenant Colonel in the military and as an underdog candidate in the US senate. Today, Joni challenges leaders who aren't willing to shrug off their neatly pressed suits and get dirty--literally or figuratively. In this inspiring memoir, Joni recounts her struggle as a woman in a boys' club--both in the military and the senate--and how she has risen above to become a successful politician and role model. Senator Ernst is well known and respected for her willingness to hold Washington accountable and her demand for bipartisanship in a time of fierce tribalism. Daughter of the Heartland tells her incredible story in four parts, defined by the values she's learned along the way--leadership, service, courage, and gratitude. Written in an honest and compelling voice, Daughter of the Heartland is Joni's inspirational story of finding her power as a champion for Iowa, a defender of our armed forces, and a voice for women., Combining the by-the-bootstraps work ethic of Nikki Haley's Can't Is Not an Option with the military pluck of MJ Heger's Shoot Like a Girl , Joni Ernst's candid memoir details the rise of one of the most inspiring and authentic women in the United States Senate. The daughter of hardworking farmers in the heartland, Joni Ernst has never been afraid to roll up her sleeves and get the job done. Raised in rural Iowa, Joni grew up cleaning stalls, hauling grain, and castrating hogs. Farm life forged her work ethic. She developed grit and tenacity, attributes that would later be put to the test when she faced abuse, sexism, and harassment. First, as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and later as an underdog candidate in the US Senate, Joni has proven to be a natural leader who proudly serves her fellow Americans. She had to learn to believe when others didn't, to raise her own voice for those who couldn't, and to silence the naysayers (even herself) to become a bold leader and a fierce advocate. In her inspiring memoir, Joni shares her struggles and the invaluable lessons she learned through hardship--on the farm, in the home, and at work. As a woman fighting for position in the boys' clubs of the military and politics, she found strength in courage and vulnerability, becoming a role model for women everywhere. As a US Senator, Joni is well-known and respected for her fight to hold Washington accountable and her demand for bipartisanship in a time of fierce tribalism. Daughter of the Heartland tells Joni's incredible story in four parts, defined by the values she's learned along the way--leadership, service, courage, and gratitude. Written in an honest and compelling voice, Daughter of the Heartland is Joni's inspirational story of finding her place as a champion for Iowa, a defender of our armed forces, and a voice for women.
