Now, at the age of 20, Palin has written a memoir about the ordeal of being Johnston’s partner, a teenage mother to their child and a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars.” (Johnston will, of course, release his own memoir later this summer.) Palin and Johnston’s combustible relationship has been exciting the media ever since John McCain picked Palin’s mother as his running mate in the 2008 election. “ Not Afraid of Life” is a vent for her fury. Yes, however improbably, Palin just placed herself among a pantheon of scorned women that includes the secretary of state and the “Friends” actress who gave the world the “Rachel” haircut. “From Hillary Clinton to Sandra Bullock, from Jackie Kennedy to Jennifer Aniston, from Elin Woods to Princess Diana.” “Women throughout history have looked back at their relationships and wondered how they could’ve loved a man who treated them so badly,” she writes. Near the end of her memoir, Bristol Palin declares that her love story with Levi Johnston is “not unique” and places it in historical perspective for the reader.
