Behind Every Good Man

A wronged wife goes toe to toe with her cheating husband at the polls in this hilarious and uplifting novel.

It’s a doozy of a bad day for Beverly Diamond when she catches her husband, Larry, in a compromising position with his secretary. What’s a suburban wife to do with a soon-to-be ex, two young kids, and no degree or financial support in 1962? Beat the louse at his own game, that’s what.

Larry runs the Maryland senatorial campaign for the incumbent candidate projected to win against his younger underdog opponent, Michael Landau. Beverly has the pluck, political savvy, and sheer drive to push Michael’s campaign in a successful new direction, even if he already has a campaign manager who’s less than pleased she’s inserted herself into the race. If Bev can persuade Michael to modernize, pay attention to women’s issues, and learn to dress himself properly, maybe she can show Larry how much he’s underestimated her—and make her own dreams come true in the process.
