“Annette is feeling the truth of the proverb about being careful what you wish for. Hawley . . . has given us a well-written, fast-paced story with believable characters who could have easily been cardboard stereotypes. Talk-show listeners will recognize the forces at play here, and this novel will appeal both to them and to fans of political novels like Larry Beinhart’s The Librarian and American Hero, the basis for the movie Wag the Dog.”
— Debbie Bogenschutz, Library Journal, on Open Line
