Non-Fiction Memoir
Jennifer Granholm was the two-term governor of Michigan, a
state synonymous with manufacturing during a financial
crisis that threatened to put all America’s major car
companies into bankruptcy. The immediate and knock-on
effects were catastrophic. Granholm’s grand plans for
education reform, economic revitalization, clean energy, and
infrastructure development were blitzed by a perfect
economic storm. Granholm was a determined and undefeated governor, who
enjoyed close access to the White House at critical moments
(Granholm stood in for Sarah Palin during Joe Biden’s debate
preparation), and her account offers a front row seat on the
effects of the crisis. Ultimately, her story is a model of
hope. She hauls Michigan towards unprecedented
private-public partnerships, forged in the chaos of
financial freefall, built on new technologies that promise
to revolutionize not only the century-old auto industry but
Michigan’s entire manufacturing base. They offer the
potential for a remarkable recovery not just for her state,
but for American industry nationwide.
