Book Description
John Wentworth had made his mark as Governor of New Hampshire just before the American Revolution, in spite of growing colonial ferment over British rule--and in spite of his young and restless wife. But then the Revolution exploded into mob violence, and the Governor was forced to flee to England. In the fashionable whirl of London, with its court intrigues and political fortune grabbers, it became evident to all but John that his wife was gambling with his future for her own ends. But it was not until he was sent to a post in Nova Scotia that his wife's designs came clear. There, Frances Wentworth was to employ all her seductive charm to its limits.--From publisher description.

Book Description
Cooper Lanier has been surrounded by politics her entire life. Her late father, Cleve Spainhour, was a beloved two-term Southern governor, as was her husband, Pickett Lanier. Now, Cooper is taking office as governor herself, succeeding Pickett as he campaigns for president.On her first day, as the state is blindsided by a blizzard, Cooper quickly realizes she is surrounded by leftovers from her husband¿s administration and that Pickett intends to manage the state¿s affairs from the campaign trail, even if it means undermining her every command. Cooper is faced with the stark choice of seizing control or becoming a phony, irrelevant figurehead.Smart, feisty, and independent, Cooper follows her instincts and takes charge.Her political rift with Pickett mirrors their unraveling relationship. Pickett¿s obsession with politics has pulled him farther and farther from her. Since childhood, Cooper has thought of politics as a thief that steals everyone she loves. She has mostly blamed her mother, Mickey Spainhour, a once-prominent political mastermind. When Cooper discovers the breadth of Pickett¿s back-room dealings, and just how far he¿s willing to go to become president, she realizes she must learn to use her political pedigree and instincts to serve her state.Struggling to chart a course through the treacherous shoals of male-dominated politics, she finds unexpected allies in the ailing Mickey, from whom she has been estranged for years, and Wheeler Kincaid, a crusty, aging newspaper reporter.The Governor¿s Lady shows how politics brings out the best and worst in people and how the public arena affects politicians¿ values and relationships. The novel will appeal to those interested in a deeper understanding of the subtexts and complexities of American politics and the growing role of women in the political landscape.

Book Description
A strange and elusive short play about governors, gorillas and colonialism. In a bungalow in Africa, Harriet is talking about her husband Gilbert as if he was still alive, refusing to accept that he died six months ago, that he is no longer the Governor, and that the colony has become independent. For the reactionary Harriet, the impossibility of accepting the prevailing political and social reality leads to her breakdown into an astonishing fantasy. Originally written for radio in 1960, 'The Governor's Lady' was first staged in 1965 by the RSC at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in a programme of short plays entitled 'Expeditions Two'.

Book Description
Welcoming its first executive in 1842, the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion is the second-oldest continuously occupied governor’s residence in the United States. The Mansion is both a public building open for tours and the private residence of the governor and his family. In this unique book, readers are invited to explore the entirety of the building, from the attic to the garage and everything in between. The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion: Memories of the People’s Home is the first book of its kind dedicated to images and stories about the Governor’s Mansion. The volume reveals Governor Phil Bryant’s profound respect for the office he holds and his deep appreciation for the National Historic Landmark in which he resides. Through his personal, often touching reflections, Governor Bryant pays tribute to former governors, their families, and the many public servants who have dedicated their lives to taking care of this beautiful Greek Revival masterpiece. More than sixty elegant watercolor paintings by noted Mississippi artist Bill Wilson accompany the governor’s stories. Wilson captures the beauty and majesty of the home, its furnishings, and the restored historic grounds. The volume also features a personal foreword by First Lady Deborah Bryant inviting readers into her home, an artist’s statement by Wilson, and a brief historical essay written by Mansion curator Megan Bankston.
