Summary

This is the true story of one political wife who descended into brokenness and used her faith to find a powerful way to emerge--stronger, happier, and still married. Wife of former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, the leader (with Tipper Gore and others) of the campaign for warning labels on music albums with violent, drug-oriented, and sexually explicit lyrics, and co-founder of what is today known as the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the public story of Susan G. Baker is well known. This is the private story--a story of a difficult divorce, remarriage, and the struggle to blend eight children into a new family. The story of the loneliness and special challenges of being the wife of a man engaged in national politics and public service at the highest levels. The story recounts her struggles with faith and her stormy relationship with God.
