Women's Fiction

Ashley Taylor has been straightforward with her husband, the president-elect of the United States. She supported his candidacy, but she has no intention of assuming the traditional role of First Lady—a position she describes as “First Hostess.” Instead, she will resume her own career as head of one of the largest art museums in New York. The aftermath of her decision triggers reactions from the public, news commentators, late night comedians, and other political factions.

While Ashley and Michael wrestle with saving their marriage and preserving their professional lives, the country debates whether the role of First Lady is a necessity, how the media influences the lives of public figures, and how much a woman should sacrifice for the person she loves.

Re: The Reluctant First Lady

I didn't have children, nor did I have a career, so to
speak, but I did have a good job, and felt that I needed
that job, not only as something to fall back on should
something happen, but as a way to help support the family.
Nowadays, things are so expensive, that it actually takes 2
incomes to help pay the bills, so if a woman can either find
a good job, or start a career, I say more power to her. You
put a very interesting slant in your latest book, and I will
be very anxious to read it and find out how the story line
plays out.
