When twentysomething political fund-raiser Olivia Greenley gets
tapped to work on the presidential campaign of Georgia governor
Landon Taylor, it's her dream job. Her best friend in the world is
the campaign manager, and Taylor is a decent, charismatic
idealist, with a real chance to be a great leader. Sacrificing her
sleep, comfort, friends, family, and income for a year to make the
world a better place is the right call, but what happens when both
Campaign Lesson #1, No Kissing the Boss, and Lesson #2, Loyalty
Above All, go down in flames before the first primary? Bridget Siegel, veteran of the John Edwards and Obama campaigns,
vividly captures the idealism and chaos, as well as the emotional
heat and corruption, of the candidate's bubble. What becomes of
Olivia's best friends when she must keep from them the biggest
secret of her life? Is the candidate a true romantic or a
political hypocrite? How far can she go to justify her happiness?
Told with savvy, humor, and delicious inside-the-Beltway detail, Domestic Affairs is a page-turning tale of love on the campaign trail
-- and its consequences -- from a consummate Beltway insider. pub date: 2013-05-14 | paperback | 9781602862005 |
