In 'America the Beautiful', former Virginia Governor Emily Benton has all the right qualifications to become President-- experience, knowledge, and desire. With the help of her campaign manager and best friend, Kate Rosen, Emily is prepared to conduct a no-holds barred campaign in hopes of securing her party's nomination and eventually the office of the President. But Kate's dilemma is this: how can she be an effective campaign manager in the cutthroat world of politics and still hold dear to her faith? Emily has no problems, mostly because the only faith she seems to have is in the political structure itself. Eye-opening, thought-provoking, this book addresses issues of faith in the real world far better than most Christian fiction I've read. It also presented a non-partisan viewpoint of politics in a way I've never considered. Laura Hayden expertly balanced all the elements of the story--realistic faith, an insider's look at politics and multi-dimensional characters--all tightly woven into a powerful and suspenseful read. I can't wait for the next in what I'm hoping will be a long running series. Five stars!
