When COVID hit the US, New York governor Andrew Cuomo was thrust onto the national stage, hailed for his leadership. Alongside him every step of the way, Melissa DeRosa quickly became a household name. In her riveting memoir--now in paperback with updated material--DeRosa details her journey as a young woman rising to the highest levels of government, writing with raw honesty about the personal challenges she faced--a failing marriage, infertility, death threats, misogyny--while navigating unprecedented professional landmines along the way. DeRosa takes readers from the epicenter of the deadliest pandemic in US history to the story behind the #MeToo scandal that rocked a nation and brought down a governor.
