The highest office in the land has never been occupied by a
woman. Emily Benton wants to change that. Serving as the
governor of Virginia, her long line of political pedigree
makes her the perfect candidate for defying the odds and
becoming the first woman president of the United States.
Ambitious, driven, and at times ruthless, Emily will stop
at nothing to achieve her goal.
Kate Rosen has her work cut out for her. As Emily's
campaign manager, it's her job to make it happen. Not only
is she Emily's best friend and chief of staff, but she is
also the glue that holds this run for the White House
together. Kate is able to draw Emily back when she teeters
too close to that controversial line while pushing her
forward to grasp the golden ring she so desperately wants
her friend to have.
As the race heats up, the friendship of these two strong
women is put to the test as political and religious beliefs
start colliding and the stakes keep getting higher.
Emily's blind ambition and take-no-prisoners approach
crosses into dangerous territory that forces Kate to
question her own conscience. How can politics and religion
be bedfellows in a world that is filled with such violence
and hate? Is selling your soul the ultimate cost of
changing the future? Who is the stronger woman? The one
who stands up for what is right or the one who walks away
from the battle with the knowledge that some things just
can't be changed?
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL is a powerful novel that explores the
possibility of a government with God as its driving force.
The author of eight novels, Laura Hayden delivers a
commanding story that challenges the reader to reach for
new possibilities and perhaps question the plight of our
future. Superbly crafted, AMERICA THE BEAUTFUL waves the
flag of victory.
Emily Benton has spent her entire life immersed in
politics. Having been raised in the industry, she has the
kinds of contacts that it takes most politicians decades
to build. She knows that she can win the race for
president of the United States, but only if she destroys
her rival first, before he can find and use hidden
ammunition on her. If Emily destroys him, the election
will be hers. A groundbreaking novel about the
intersection of politics, power, personality, and the
future of our country.
