About the Book

This updated and expanded edition of Susan Bakers popular spiritual autobiography includes three new chapters and ten new photos. The new material covers lessons she has learned since her successful battle with cancer, candid advice to men about how to be good husbands, and advice to all of us on how to resolve conflicts by living more honestly and in a more godly way. Wife of former Secretary of State James A Baker III, the leader (with Tipper Gore and others) of the campaign for warning labels on music albums with violent, drug-oriented, and sexually explicit lyrics, and co-founder of what is today known as the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the public story of Susan G Baker is well known. This is the private story -- a story of a difficult divorce, remarriage, and the struggle to blend eight children into a new family. The story recounts her struggles with faith and her stormy relationship with God.

Review :
"In Passing It On, Susan Baker sums up all that really matters in life from the lessons she has learned as a devoted wife, loving mother, friend to all, and tireless advocate for the well-being of every family. It is hard to write only a few sentences about a friend as dear to me as Susan. I always say that my husband "has no dark side," and I truly think of Susan in the same light. I enjoyed reading her encouraging autobiography that is filled with lots of love and joy, selfless giving, and ways to lead a life of faith -- elements we can all pass on!" -- Barbara Bush, Former First Lady & Literacy Advocate "In this fascinating and fun memoir Susan Baker truly does 'pass it on.' She passes on wisdom of how to deal with a blended family, troubled teens, a perpetually on the go husband and a cancer diagnosis. Her spirit shines through these pages -- not only the spiritual gift of faith that has allowed her to meet lifes challenges but also the spiritedness that gives her the gumption to take on powerful interests on behalf of the homeless and children. Baker inspires us all to pass along whatever gifts we have to those who need them." -- Cokie Roberts, news analyst & author "Passing It On: An Autobiography with Spirit is the autobiography of Susan G Baker, wife of Secretary of State James A Baker III. Her public endeavours include working with Tipper Gore and others on a campaign to put warning labels on music albums and CDs with violent, drug-oriented, and sexually explicit lyrics, as well as co-founding what would become the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Passing It On goes beyond the public sector to tell Bakers personal story of divorce, remarriage, and the difficulties of blending eight children (three of hers, four of his, and one of theirs) into a unified family. The book follows the life story of a ranch girl, a devoted Catholic, a dignified stateswoman, and more. An engaging tale of challenges faced and lessons learned -- some learned the hard way -- Passing It On is absorbing, enlightening, and highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review, 9 October 2010
