Kelly's investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behind – his wife, Marie. Ostracized by her former friends and hounded by the feds, Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is. Like everyone else, Kelly doesn't believe her. As he hunts for her husband, Kelly begins to unwind Marie Perry's past. What he finds is a woman who turns out to be even more intriguing than her husband, with her own deeply complicated reasons for standing by him.

This is stylish, knock-out suspense from a modern master.

Download or read book Living a Political Life written by Madeleine May Kunin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time Madeleine M. Kunin ran for office it was because she thought there ought to be more women in politics. In time she fulfilled that belief by becoming the first woman governor of Vermont. Throughout her career, Kunin found that the rules for women politicians were different: she would not be forgiven (nor would she forgive herself) for neglecting her family. She could not afford to display emotion at the wrong times lest she be thought "weak." And she would have to learn to play political hardball with the best of them while keeping her integrity. In Living a Political Life, Kunin-who is now Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education-takes a frank look at the challenges that confronted her as she tried not just to succeed in politics but to set a precedent for other women. In doing so, she illuminates both what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a public servant and gives us a memoir as thoughtful and revealing as any to emerge from the corridors of power.

Download or read book A Governor s Wife on the Mining Frontier written by Mary Wright Edgerton and published by Tanner Trust Fund. This book was released on 1976 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1863 Mary Wright Edgerton left her home, family, and friends in Ohio to follow her husband 2,500 miles to the western gold fields, to the very edge of civilization. Her husband, Sidney, was appointed territorial chief justice of Idaho, then governor of Montana Territory. Though not as dangerous as contemporary western fiction sometimes portrays it, the trip was arduous. When the family settled in Bannock on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, it was a primitive mining camp. Mary had spent much of her life in a large house surrounded by family and friends. Now she was confined to a small log cabin with a leaky dirt roof and inadequate hearing. Of the few women in Bannock, fewer still were genteel. It was a town of men seeking a quick fortune and women who catered to them. When Sidney traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for territorial issues, Mary stayed behind with their young daughter. During such periods she would write about her experiences, vividly describing her journeys and episodes of frontier life. She was witness to several of the most important developments in Montana's history; her letters home to Ohio provide significant information and intriguing insights into a woman's perspective, an area where documentation is scarce and her letters therefore fill a conspicuous gap.

Download or read book Dining at the Governor s Mansion written by Carl McQueary and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are invited to dine at the Texas Governor’s Mansion, to be the guest of the first ladies and two women governors of the Lone Star State, as they offer (through author Carl McQueary) some of their finest recipes and favorite stories of life in the heart of Austin. The ingredients in Dining at the Governor’s Mansion include one part culinary history and one part social history, along with a generous helping of recipes cooked by Texas first ladies, or (in later years) their personal chefs, from the completion of the Austin mansion in 1856 down to the present. Carl McQueary’s folksy cookbook offers a look at food and its preparation, entertaining at the Mansion, and the challenges the women faced keeping the old home together. It includes brief biographical sketches of the first ladies, who usually orchestrated food service for both family meals and social or political events, and considerable background on the mansion’s infrastructure challenges, interior decoration, landscaping, and restoration. The book also provides an intimate portrait of Texas life during the last century and a half, since the trends in food enjoyed by the governors and their families, especially in their private lives, have been surprisingly similar to those enjoyed by even the humblest of Texas citizens. Most of all, it presents dozens of tasty, appetizing, historic recipes tested by McQueary in his own kitchen and annotated for the contemporary cook. No matter how you slice it up—as Texas history, food history, women’s hisory, or cookbook—Dining at the Governor’s Mansion offers a palate-pleasing smorgasbord for your reading, dining, or gift-giving pleasure.
