Haley's Book Release Pushed Back to April

The first female governor of South Carolina discusses the hardships she faced entering politics.

Gov. Nikki Haley's memoir won't be released until April 3, according to Sentinel/Penguin, the publishing company printing the book. 

The book, entitled "Can't Is Not an Option," was scheduled to be released in January. The publishing company announced on Tuesday that it pushed back the date because it doesn't want to compete with the state's Jan. 21 primary, according to an Associated Press story.

In the memoir, Haley discusses the hardships her family faced as the first Indian family in the small town of Bamberg, S.C., and the hardships she faced during her entrance into politics.
