Presidential Intentions

Presidential Intentions is the first book in a trilogy about Samantha Harrison, who was the first woman Republican candidate for president. The set up is that she will run against a woman on the Democratic ticket. The book sets up the next two novels, so this one is an introduction to Harrison’s character, her family, and those important people around her. Although I’ve not gotten to the second and third books yet, I will certainly do so. It looks like the author is appropriately setting up this conservative candidate to have some very real personal struggles, such as when her right-to-life position is challenged by her daughter’s decision to go through with an abortion. Also, although not personally in favor of the death penalty, as the Governor of Virginia, she must decide whether to allowed a psychopath, Peter Vasquez, to be executed, the very man she had been successful prosecuting some years earlier. I’m eager to read more of the story, so the second book, Presidential Declarations is near the top of my ready queue.
