Jan.18,2008- Sen. Hillary Clinton's Darkest Moment - Video

In an exclusive excerpt from her upcoming memoir, Hard Choices, published on Vogue.com, Clinton reminisces about giving birth to her baby girl and what her mother taught her.
"From the moment I first held Chelsea in my arms in the hospital in Little Rock, I knew my mission in life was to give her every opportunity to thrive. As she's grown up and stepped out into the world in her own right, my responsibilities have changed," she writes.
"Now that she's expecting a child of her own, I'm preparing for a new role that I've looked forward to for years: grandmother. And I've found myself thinking a lot about my relationship with my own mom, as an adult as well as in childhood, and what lessons I learned from her."
A former secretary of state, senator and First Lady, Clinton has long been a member of the political elite. But she had humble beginnings growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois, and a generation earlier, her mother Dorothy Howell Rodham survived a tumultuous childhood.
Rodham's parents divorced when she was young and shipped her off to live with strict, ultimately abusive grandparents in California. As a teenager, she moved out and became and a housekeeper and nanny, paying her way through high school before moving back to Chicago and meeting Clinton's father.
Today, Clinton remembers her mother, who died in 2011, as a kind and charitable woman.
"Mom measured her own life by how much she was able to help us and serve others. I knew if she was still with us, she would be urging us to do the same," Clinton writes. "Never rest on your laurels. Never quit. Never stop working to make the world a better place. That's our unfinished business."
Hard Choices, which Clinton penned by hand in her attic, will be released June 10.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reflects on her own experiences as a mother and daughter in an excerpt of her upcoming memoir obtained by Vogue Magazine just in time for Mother's Day.
The book, titled "Hard Choices," has been billed as a chronicle of Clinton's time in public life, but in it, Clinton also discusses some more private moments, including the lessons she learned from her own mother, Dorothy Rodham, and how she passed them along to her daughter Chelsea.
"From the moment I first held Chelsea in my arms in the hospital in Little Rock, I knew my mission in life was to give her every opportunity to thrive," Clinton writes. "As she's grown up and stepped out into the world in her own right, my responsibilities have changed."

Chelsea Clinton recently announced that she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are expecting a baby, and Hillary Clinton writes in the book that she's been looking forward to being a grandmother for many years. "And I've found myself thinking a lot about my relationship with my own mom, as an adult as well as in childhood, and what lessons I learned from her," she says.
"When I became Secretary of State, Mom was just about to turn 90," Clinton writes. "She had been living with us in Washington for the past few years, ever since being alone in her apartment overlooking the zoo on Connecticut Avenue became too much. Like so many Americans of my generation, I felt both blessed to have these extra years with an aging parent and very responsible for making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Mom gave me so much unconditional love and support when I was growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois; now it was my turn to support her. Of course I never would have let her hear me describe it that way. Dorothy Howell Rodham was a fiercely independent woman. She couldn't bear the thought of being a burden to anyone."
"Having her so close became a source of great comfort to me, especially in the difficult period after the end of the 2008 campaign," Clinton recalls. "I'd come home from a long day at the Senate or the State Department, slide in next to her at the small table in our breakfast nook, and let everything just pour out."
Clinton says she could not recall her mom ever looking happier than she did on the day of Chelsea's wedding in 2010. "She proudly walked down the aisle," Clinton writes, "and exulted over her joyful, radiant granddaughter."
