Synopsis

A debut novel by political commentator and television host Dana Perino, a former White House Press Secretary. It follows Dorothy “Dot” Clark, a buttoned-up New York City PR professional sent to Cedar Falls, Wisconsin, a swing district in a swing state that could decide the next presidential election. As red meets blue, the small-town romantic comedy turns both politically and romantically charged, with love proving never quite black and white.
