Being President of the United States isn’t the hardest part of Candace Reid’s life; it’s learning to balance the unrelenting demands of the White House with the people she loves most.
As campaign season comes to a close, Candace finds herself caught between two worlds: Halloween parties and trick-or-treating with her son, Cooper, and the unforgiving glare of the political spotlight. At home, her ex-husband’s health is failing, and the family prepares for what may be their last holiday together in her hometown of Schoharie, New York. Meanwhile, abroad, alliances with Germany and Britain are under siege. Domestically, Congress teeters on the brink of division, natural disasters test her leadership, and her opponents remain determined to vilify her at any cost.
Candace has always carried the weight of the presidency with fire and grace, but privately she begins to question whether she’s the right person to lead. The sacrifices seem endless—not just for her, but for her family as well.
However, Jameson, her wife, best friend, and fiercest defender, refuses to let doubt win. With humor, tenderness, and unshakable devotion, she reminds Candace—and everyone else—that she is the right person for this moment.
