Описание: Cady Davenport is living the American dream...At least she's supposed to be. She's in a new city, with a new job and even a new fiance. But when her husband-to-be hits the road for the upcoming presidential election, Cady realizes she's on her own--and that her dream life might not be all she'd imagined.Until she finds herself thrust straight into the heart of the most influential inner circle in Washington, DC: the campaign widows. As friends, they're an unlikely group--a fabulous Georgetown doyenne; a speechwriter turned mommy blogger; an artsy website editor; and a First Lady Hopeful who's not convinced she wants the job. But they share one undeniable bond: their spouses are all out on the trail during a hotly contested election season.Cady is unsure of her place in their illustrious group, but with the pressures of the unprecedented election mounting, the widows' worlds keep turning--faster than ever--as they hold down the fort while running companies, raising babies, racking up page views and even reinventing themselves. And their friendship might be just what Cady needs to find the strength to pursue her own happiness.

Описание:

An engaging, vivacious memoir told with heart, raw honesty, and droll humor. LaRue takes you on a wild read of growing up in Chicago in an eccentric Italian family, living with a mentally ill mother, sisterly bonds, the sex, drugs, and rock and roll of hippie life, an illegal abortion, a bad marriage, single parenting and caring for parents with Alzheimers and cancer. Chapter 14 is a jewel in itself. Reading it is akin to opening an early 1970's time capsule. Told through original letters to her sister from a bizarre communal living arrangement in the hippie haven of the Florida Keys, it is loaded with wild tales and fantastic hippie vernacular. All chapters of the book are infused with unique characters and events that make it a page-turner. Her journeys and struggles are always met with a positive and humorous attitude, making this book very germane and inspiring to all ages of readers. The Boomers especially will relate to this story as much of it encapsulates their experience as a generation. the GenXer's and Millenials can live vicariously through the pre-aids and smartphone era. You might laugh and cry but you will not want to put it down.
