Mary Beth Rogers has led an eventful life rooted in the weeds of
Texas politics, occasionally savoring a few victories-particularly
the 1990 governor's race when, as campaign manager for Ann
Richards, she did the impossible and put a Democratic woman in
office. She also learned to absorb her losses-after all, she was a
liberal feminist in America's most aggressively conservative state.
Rogers's road to a political life was complex. Candidly and
vulnerably, she shares both public and private memories of how she
tried to maintain a rich family life with growing children and a
husband with a debilitating illness. She goes on to provide an
insider's account of her experiences as Richards's first chief of
staff while weaving her way through the highs and lows of political
intrigue and legislative maneuvering. Reflecting on her family
heritage and nascent spiritual quest, Rogers discovers a reality at
once sobering and invigorating: nothing is ever completely lost or
completely won. It is a constant struggle to create humane public
policies built on a foundation of fairness and justice-particularly
in her beloved Texas.
