Vogue published a Mothers Day excerpt of Hillary Clintons forthcoming memoir Hard Choices, on Sunday. In the excerpt, Mrs. Clinton whose daughter, Chelsea, is pregnant with Mrs. Clintons first grandchild reflects on her relationship with her own mother, Dorothy Howell Rodham, who died in 2011. The book is set to be released June 10.

Im preparing for a new role that Ive looked forward to for years: grandmother, Mrs. Clinton writes. And Ive 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.

Mrs. Clinton had written about her mother previously in her Living History memoir, and revisits the harrowing tales of her mothers childhood.

Here are some highlights from theVogue excerpt:

On the last years of her mothers life, when she lived with the Clintons:

Having her so close became a source of great comfort to me, especially in the difficult period after the end of the 2008 campaign. Id 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.

On her mothers traumatic childhood:

In Chicago her parents fought frequently and divorced when she and her sister were young. Neither parent was willing to care for the kids, so they were put on a train to California to live with their paternal grandparents . The elderly couple was severe and unloving. One Halloween, after Mom was caught trick-or-treating with school friends, a forbidden activity, she was confined to her room for an entire year, except for the hours she was in school. By the time Mom turned fourteen, she could no longer bear life in her grandmothers house. She moved out and found work as a housekeeper and nanny for a kindhearted woman in San Gabriel who offered room and board plus $3 a week and urged her to attend high school. For the first time she saw how loving parents care for their childrenit was a revelation.

On how her mother survived this:

Hillary Clinton has been thinking a lot about her own mother as her daughter, Chelsea, expects her first child, the former Secretary of State writes in an excerpt from her new memoir, Hard Choices.

Dorothy Howell Rodham, who passed away in 2011, helped inspire Clintons passion for public service after overcoming an abusive childhood in Chicago.

Mom helped Chelsea navigate the unique challenges of growing up in the public eye and, when she was ready, encouraged her to pursue her passion for service and philanthropy, she writes in an excerpt published in Vogue from her upcoming book. Even in her 90s, Mom never lost her commitment to social justice, which did so much to mold and inspire me when I was growing up. I loved that she was able to do the same for Chelsea.

Clinton also writes in the excerpt about the blessings and challenges of taking care of an aging parent.

Mom was a fighter her entire life, but it was finally time to let go, she writes. I sat by her bedside and held her hand one last time. No one had a bigger influence on my life or did more to shape the person I became.

You can hear Clinton read the excerpt aloud over at Vogue. Hard Choices hits bookstore shelves June 10.
