During a time of intense and almost unimaginable personal loss, she managed to keep her head up and her heart open and worked diligently for her constituents and for the country. Her upbeat attitude is truly a lesson to us all. Carnahan, in the public sphere most recently as she campaigned for President Barack Obama, is a skillful writer.

The Tide Always Comes Back is the kind of practical inspirational gift book that word-of- mouth could turn into a wonderful, evergreen book."
