Product Description
The literary debut of political analyst Keli Goff is a savvy tale inspired by the 2008 presidential election. Luke Cooper, one of the first black and, by virtue of adoption, Jewish governors in US history, decides that it is time to run for president. His friends offer to help out with the campaign but a fundraiser, hosted by Luke's good friend, becomes the subject of an incredibly negative gossip campaign. Meanwhile, Luke's wife is ambivalent about her husband's aspirationsą
Review
"From its humorous inside peek at the world of politics to its honest portrayal of the vicissitudes of a loving marriage, Keli Goff's book is the ideal escape for the thinking person. Hers is a bold and bright voice for a new, "post-racial" generation." Susan Fales-Hill, author of "One Flight Up".
"Keli Goff takes us on the entertaining behind-the-scenes ride of a handsome, young, charismatic African-American presidential candidate. Think you know how it ends? Think again." --Trey Ellis, Platitudes, Right Here, Right Now"
"Goff's intellectually pulsating and "fresh" political page-turner is penned with undeniable heat and heart-racing soul...each character's inside portrait, vividly threaded making you invest deeper"." If you love government affairs laced with swaggering scandal and an intense competitive "race" to the finish line, "The GQ Candidate" is a "must-read"." - Victoria Rowell
"In recent years, and especially in the election of 2008, Keli Goff brought skill and grace to the rough-and-tumble arena of political commentary. Now, in time for 2012, she has aimed those same talents at fiction, and the result is a witty novel that reminds us that all politics is personal." - Arianna Huffington, President and Editor-in-Chief of "The Huffington Post" Media Group.
"Keli Goff's 'Candidate' is very well-informed" --USA Today.
"If you're the type that's always stirring up the water cooler discussion on the latest political scandal then Keli Goff's literary debut is a must read." --JET Magazine
