Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Emily Benton has spent her entire life immersed in politics. Having been raised in the industry, she has the kinds of contacts that it takes most politicians decades to build. She knows that she can win the race for president of the United States, but only if she destroys her rival first, before he can find and use hidden ammunition on her. If Emily destroys him, the election will be hers. A groundbreaking novel about the intersection of politics, power, personality, and the future of our country.

Religion and politics don't mix...except in this book. Laura Hayden has found a way to bring both worlds together in an entertaining and satisfying way.

Emily Benton will do practically anything to become the first female President of the United States. She has the education, the experience, the desire, the contacts and the political know-how necessary to make it happen. Best of all, she has a top-notch campaign manager (ans best friend) Kate Rosen who plays a critical role in helping Emily be the ideal Presidential candidate. Emily may be the brains and brawn, but Kate is the heart and soul of the campaign. She provides an element of conscience that Emily lacks and helps guide the candidate into making the right choices for the right reasons. Kate, a woman of faith, is able to work in the often-soiled world of politics, thanks to the strength of her connection with God. She manages to walk her path of faith in the middle of an imperfect world, leading by quiet example rather than by preaching loudly.

As a result, the book is a great political suspense and a strong character study. It keeps the reader's rapt attention, especially in light of current political events. The book is not a mirror of current events, but pays homage to the world beyond its pages.

All in all, an excellent book. I recommend it highly to all readers.
