“Her skirt was very short, and Josh found himself mesmerized by her perfectly shaped, silken legs with kneecaps that reminded him of golden apples.”

– excerpt from Senator Barbara Boxer’s (D-California) novel, A Time to Run

Editorial review by Publisher’s Weekly:  “The three-term senator from California offers a debut novel to relate ‘a story I had long wanted to tell.’  Aspiring political activist Josh Fischer and aspiring journalist Greg Hunter are best friends and roommates at 1970s Berkeley: Josh is dark, sensitive and liberal; Greg is blond, gregarious and leans right.  When the two meet Ellen Downey, a petite redhead with a steely determination to make the world a better place, romantic entanglements ensue, with Ellen ultimately marrying Josh shortly after graduation.  When Josh dies during his Senate campaign, Ellen assumes his candidacy and scores an upset victory…”

Who knew Boxer had a bit of Jacqueline Susann in her?
