Product Description
by Susan Smocer Platt (Author)
An honest, inspiring and engaging memoir of one woman's life, love and a career in politics in Washington, DC, shared with a love of her life, her husband of forty-three years, until his death. Although from very different backgrounds they found purpose in each other's love of each other, family, adventure and a career in politics. After tragedy, her husband retreats to deep depression and she must find a path for them, and after his death, without him. From working in the halls of Congress, to running campaigns and her own campaign for statewide office. A retrospective on aging, feminism, and partnership, and a career in a town where the old saying goes, "if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog". She begins her renewed search for purpose in the Virginia countryside with her four dogs.
