"This is the memoir of a private citizen who runs for Congress as an idealistic conservative. She confronts an overwhelming tide of indifference to the Constitution and disrespect for compromise as an essential and honorable element of democracy. It's a cry from the heart to responsible voters of all political persuasions."--Martin Dyckman, author of Reubin O'D. Askew and the Golden Age of Florida Politics "Puts the reader in the shoes of the candidate--experiencing the good, the bad, and the ugly."--Robert W. McKnight, former Florida state senator and representative
