. . . And His Lovely Wife: A Campaign Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man
- Used Book in Good Condition
Writing with warmth and humor, Connie Schultz reveals the rigors, joys, and absolute madness of a new marriage at midlife and campaigning with her husband, Sherrod Brown, now the junior senator from Ohio. She describes the chain of events leading up to Sherrodâ€™s decision to run for the Senate (he would not enter the fray without his wifeâ€™s unequivocal support), and her own decision to step down from writing her Pulitzer Prize-winning column during the course of one of the nationâ€™s most intensely watched races. She writes about the moment her friends in the press became not so friendly, the constant campaign demands on her marriage and family life, and a personal tragedy that came out of the blue. Schultz also shares insight into the challenges of political life: dealing with audacious bloggers, ruthless adversaries, and political divas; battling expectations of a political wife; and the shock of having staffers young enough to be her children suddenly directing her every move. Connie Schultz is passionate and outspoken about her opinionsâ€“in other words, every political consultantâ€™s nightmare, and every readerâ€™s dream.
