Second Lady

by Jeanette Baker

Frosty Ryan has always been the perfect political wife, mother and stepmother to U.S. Senator Mitchell Stewart and their four daughters. Now, Mitch has a clear past to the Vice-presidency. Everyone is jubilant with the exception of Frosty. She has a secret past, the kind that does not play well on the resume of a woman who could become the next Second Lady.

About the author

I love all things Irish, the language, a good cup of tea, soda bread, stew, smoked salmon, banoffee pie, green hills, happy cows, chedder cheese,... and all things Southern, sweet iced tea, southern hospitality, everything written by Anne Rivers Siddons and Johanna Trollope, blazing sunsets, driving through hot desert nights with the windows open, coffee and conversation with good friends, Katherine Hepburn movies, dessert, intimate gatherings and bright breezy days.

I live in Southern California during the winter months where I teach school to remarkably well-behaved 6th graders. During the summer months I live in County Kerry, Ireland where I take long walks, listen to traditional music, sigh over gray skies and write, write, write.

Reviews

[Anne OK · Rating 5 out of 5]

SECOND LADY starts off with a lot of details that I don't really mind, and in fact really enjoy -- but it makes reading a little slower until I get the characters identified and straight in my head. From there I found myself in the middle of another of Baker's highly entertaining and intriguing politically charged tales with a little Irish kick to it. I loved it. As always with Baker's books, the plot is complex, the characters are multidimensional and the author writes with proficiency.
