In the introduction of the novel, Clinton writes: "In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I'm letting my guard down."
According to Simon & Schuster, Clinton also addresses the "challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics."
In March, the former senator and secretary of state accepted an award for her work advocating for women.
"I've had my ups and my downs. In the last months, I've done my share of sleeping. A little soul searching and reflecting," Clinton said.
Clinton has remained largely out of sight, though social media posts have captured her hiking in the woods, going shopping, dining out and catching some Broadway shows.
According to Simon & Schuster, Clinton "describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterwards."
