the ghost of Andy's Hotel,
By Anita (Andy's Hotel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coya Come Home: A Congresswoman's Journey (Hardcover)
I thought that the story was fascinating. I grew up in the area and had always heard the story of "Coya" never knowing any of the characters. The book tells the story of the struggle of a hometown girl that was filled with passion and how she falls into politics and "tragically" falls out. The book shows just how corrupt the political scene can be, especially to a woman from a small midwestern town.
