Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been “super married” to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book – How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast – it’s still on Apple and Google Podcasts – but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love and Liberty ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just finished Something Lost, Something Gained by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and wow—what a powerful, timely, and deeply prescient book. Her concerns about a second Trump presidency, democracy at risk, and the erosion of civil rights have never felt more urgent. This book is both a call to action and a reflection on resilience, hope, and the fight for progress.

I’ve admired HRC for most of my life, and this book only deepens that admiration. As a woman, politician, civil rights advocate, wife, mother, and grandmother, she continues to inspire with her intelligence, grit, and unwavering commitment to justice. Her voice is one we should all be listening to right now.

If you haven’t read this yet, pick it up. It’s essential.
