Description: A novel set in 1980 about the unlikely campaign by Rose Marie Ryder to become the Governor of Texas. A hilarious political novel, the author's lifetime as a political journalist in Texas produces many insights into the way grassroots politics (nothing short of a blood sport) works in the Lone Star State.
