The Accidental Senator: A Political Fable by Dixie Swanson
Are you tired of government by the fat cats, of the fat cats and for the fat cats? Well, these are the books for you.

In this contemporary fiction, Dr. Abby Adams, an ER physician for children, leaves the hospital to care for her dying sister, Senator Priscilla Adams Logan. Unbeknownst to Abby, Pris extracts a deathbed promise from the Governor to appoint Abby to the few months remaining in her Senate term.

Always blunt and outspoken in the hospital, Abigail gets groomed and trained to be a woman of power in the subltle, even sinister, halls of the Senate. Unable to just "shut up and smile," she's always putting her foot into something -- but in a good way.

She cannot abide the Senate, with its posturing and preening, it's droning on and on, and its inability to get the job done. She can't wait to get out of politics. "If I practiced medicine as effectively as the Senate runs, you could stack the bodies like firewood behind the hospital."

Then fate steps in.

Abby is not alone, she has her "patchwork" family of Regina Temple, her African-American guardian in childhood, who gives Abigail both backbone and a soft place to fall. The other member of the family is Regina's nephew, Duke Temple, who at 25 is a second year law student at Georgetown. At 6'5" he is part little brother and part very big brother. There's is a small, but mighty, family.

You'll laugh, you'll cryd and you'll stand up and cheer for The Accidental Senator, the first in the Accidental President Trilogy: A Political Fable for Our Time.

Warning: This series is addictive.
