Much like her husband’s presidential campaign, Karen Pence’s new book is a total bomb
When It’s Your Turn to Serve: Experiencing God’s Grace in His Calling for Your Life was released on September 26. It’s an ironic title for a book penned by a woman who did virtually nothing during her four years “serving” as second lady.A post shared by Karen Pence (@karen.pence)Seriously, can anyone remember anything Karen did other than teach art therapy classes at an anti-LGBTQ+ private Christian school and defend her homophobic husband’s decision not to wear a mask inside a hospital during the height of the pandemic by quoting from the Bible on Fox News?Anyway, the 244-page memoir dropped a month ago and, in that time, has racked up just nine Amazon reviews and four Goodreads ratings.
It’s currently #447,941 on Amazon’s Kindle list and #84,612 on Amazon’s Books list.Speaking to Newsmax shortly after the its release, Karen said, “One of the things that I wanted to do was write a book that would be encouraging to the reader and tell uplifting stories and talk about some of the fun behind-the-scenes things that I’ve had the privilege to do.”Sadly for her, the few people who’ve actually read the thing don’t appear to have been encouraged or uplifted by her words.“Unfortunate jumble of stories that loses the reader’s interest very fast,” one reviewer wrote.Now, we haven’t read Karen’s book and don’t intend to, but White House correspondent Maureen Groppe (God bless her!) over at USA Today did and here’s what she had to say about it:There’s very little about what she experienced on Jan.
6, 2021, when a mob of rioters – some of whom were hunting for the vice president − took over the Capitol and the Pences had to be whisked away to safety by the Secret Service.Karen Pence doesn’t say what she thought of Donald Trump − either before or after he falsely told his supporters the vice president could block Congress’ certification of Trump’s 2020 electoral loss if he had the courage.What the book does have is lots of facts about honeybees, many Bible verses, and examples of.
