A wronged wife goes toe to toe with her cheating husband at the polls in this hilarious and heart-lifting novel by the bestselling author of Don't Forget to Write.
It's a doozy of a bad day for Beverly Diamond when she catches her husband, Larry, in a compromising position with his secretary. What's a DC suburban wife to do with a soon-to-be ex, two young kids, and no degree or financial support in 1962? Beat the louse at his own game, that's what.
Larry runs the Maryland senatorial campaign for the incumbent candidate projected to win against his younger underdog opponent, Michael Landau. But Beverly has the pluck, political savvy, and sheer drive to push Landau's campaign in a successful new direction, even if he already has a campaign manager who is less than pleased she has inserted herself into the race.
Now it's rival against rival. She and Michael do make a great team...maybe in more ways than one. But with the election heating up, she needs to focus on one thing at a time. If Bev can convince Michael to go modern, pay attention to women's issues, and learn how to dress himself properly, maybe she can show Larry exactly how much he has underestimated her their entire marriage--and make her own dreams come true in the process.
Behind Every Good Man was a complex woman’s fiction story set in a very interesting time in our world and with it being set during an election cycle, it made it even more interesting considering some of the games played in this book are games that are still being played in politics today some 50 years later. ~ Sharon – Simply Love Books
I have always enjoyed this author’s work, so when a friend posted about this book I had to jump in and read it and as always from this author; it was amazing.
A historical of sorts taking place in 1962 when John F. Kennedy was in office and the word was swiftly changing including politics. When dutiful wife and mother and daughter to a retired Senator finds her husband cheating instead of getting mad she decides to get even. First she rids herself of her cheating husband by throwing him out of their home, next she sets out to get a job to help take care of her children and when the first one as a saleswoman doesn’t work out she decides to try something she knows, politics. Her husband works as a campaign manager for a candidate and she decides to offer up her services to the opposing candidate. This does not go over well and let’s just say things get very interesting.
Behind Every Good Man was a complex woman’s fiction story set in a very interesting time in our world and with it being set during an election cycle, it made it even more interesting considering some of the games played in this book are games that are still being played in politics today some 50 years later.
