From Pulitzer-prize winning Wall Street Journal columnist and New York Times bestselling author Peggy Noonan, a masterclass in how to see and love America.
For a quarter century, Peggy Noonan has been thinking aloud about America in her much-loved Wall Street Journal column. In this new collection of her essential recent work, Noonan demonstrates the erudition, wisdom and humor that have made her one of America’s most admired writers.
She calls balls and strikes on the political shenanigans of recent leaders and she honors the integrity of great Americans, ranging from Billy Graham to the heroes of 9/11.  A thinker who never allows her tenderness to slip into sentimentality, she writes with clear-eyed urgency about the internal and external dangers facing our republic. She sometimes writes with indignation, but above all she writes with love— and an enduring faith that America can be its best self, that its ideals are worth protecting,  and that beauty and heroism can be found in our neighbors, in our history,  and in ourselves. This book is a celebration of what America has been, is, and can be.

      The former special assistant and speechwriter to President Reagan, Peggy Noonan, has been contributing a column to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL for 25 years. Noonan and her editor chose 80 of her best for this publication of relatively recent writings, all expertly narrated by Hillary Huber. The subjects, wide in scope, range from the artistry of Paul Simon and Bob Dylan to the theology of Billy Graham and the politics of George H.W. Bush. Noonan's open-minded thoughts and articulate prose are remarkable--as is Huber's near-perfect performance, which is highly conscious of vocal flow and detail. Huber adds a tone of bemused humor, making this audiobook an exceptionally intelligent investment of the listener's time. W.A.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
