Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win by Jo Piazza FIC Pia

       This is a work of fiction -let me suggest that it is historical fiction.  Charlotte has decided to run for the Senate.  It is a midterm election.  The competition will be tough.  Two years before the country was 'shocked' by the election of a president who has divided the country.  
           Charlotte grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and it wasn't a charmed childhood.  However, she grew up to become very successful -a business in Silicon Valley, a husband and three daughters.  She is inspired to try to help change the direction of the country but she knows her best chance is to move back to Pennsylvania.
     As the campaign gets underway the politics becomes - spoiler alert!- dirty!  Charlotte's husband becomes less and less involved as he struggles to just being a spouse in the background.  When Charlotte learns that her opponent has uncovered a secret about her past, she has to decide if it is all worth it.
      A good look at campaigning from a woman's point of view.
