Security Mom: My Life Protecting the Home and Homeland

Security Mom: My Life Protecting the Home and Homeland

In â€œa lively debutâ€¦[with] plenty of enthusiastic â€˜can-doâ€™ adviceâ€ (Publishers Weekly), a Homeland Security advisor and a Pulitzer Prizeâ€“nominated columnistâ€”and mother of threeâ€”delivers a timely message about American security: it begins at home.

Soccer Moms are so last decade. Juliette Kayyem is a â€œSecurity Mom.â€ At once a national security expert who worked at the highest levels of government, and also a mom of three, sheâ€™s lived it allâ€”from anthrax to lice to the BP oil spillâ€”and now she tells it all with her unique voice of reason, experience, and humility.

Weaving her personal story of marriage and motherhood into a fast-paced account of managing the nationâ€™s most perilous disasters, Juliette recounts the milestones that mark the path of her unpredictable, daring, funny, and ultimately relatable life.

Security Mom is modern tale about the highs and lows of having-it-all parenthood and a candid, sometimes shocking, behind-the-scenes look inside the high-stakes world of national security. In her signature refreshing style, Juliette reveals how she came to learn that homeland security is not simply about tragedy and terror; it is about us as parents and neighbors, and what we can do every day to keep each other strong and safe. From stocking up on coloring books to stashing duplicate copies of valuable papers out of state, Julietteâ€™s wisdom does more than just prepare us to survive in an age of mayhemâ€”it empowers us to thrive. â€œYou got this,â€ Juliette tells her readers, providing accessible advice about how we all can better prepare ourselves for a world of risks.
