Robert Inman

"Robert Inman's tale delineated rabid ambition, but what I found most fascinating was the slow demise of a marriage between two powerful politicos. Their story was as sad as it was familiar. The more Inman revealed, the more I related to the protagonist, Cooper Lanier. Her biography spoke to me as a late-blooming Baby Boomer, as a woman, as a wife....Inman adds blood and warmth to believable scenes between daughters and mothers and grandmothers; mothers and sons; lovers and marrieds....The Governor's Lady is an excellent read....The political plot line provides forward thrust, but as middle aged folk understand, it is relationships that transform and defeat us.

Barbara Steinhauser, Denver Books Examiner

"Inman beautifully blends old-fashioned Southern storytelling with tense political drama. Readers with an interest in American politics, fierce women, or family relationships will enjoy this novel, whose strongly developed characters and plot suspense will keep them from putting this book down until the very last page."
