From the forests of the Pacific Northwest to the power corridors of Washington, D.C., this powerful novel stretches across the tumult of the 1960s to the disputed 2000 presidential election as it chronicles the life of a crusading politician and, in the process, the coming of age and loss of innocence of a generation. A Man You Could Love follows the lives of Gabe Bontempo, a savvy political strategist, and Mick Whelan, a young, idealistic candidate from Oregon. Together they weather decades of political upheaval from the civil rights and Vietnam era into the 1990s, while facing personal crises of their own. This ambitious, absorbing first novel offers a fresh look at Washington politics, the thrills and surprises of the campaign trail, and the ongoing complexities of war, as well as a touching tribute to friendship and families--the ones you are born into and those you find along the way.
