Paperback. Condition: Good. Writing with warmth and humor, Connie Schultz reveals the rigors, joys, and absolute madness of a new marriage at midlife and campaigning with her husband, Sherrod Brown, now the junior senator from Ohio. She describes the chain of events leading up to Sherrod's decision to run for the Senate (he would not enter the fray without his wife's unequivocal support), and her own decision to step down from writing her Pulitzer Prize-winning column during the course of one of the nation's most intensely watched races. She writes about the moment her friends in the press became not so friendly, the constant campaign demands on her marriage and family life, and a personal tragedy that came out of the blue. Schultz also shares insight into the challenges of political life: dealing with audacious bloggers, ruthless adversaries, and political divas; battling expectations of a political wife; and the shock of having staffers young enough to be her children suddenly directing her every move. Connie Schultz is passionate and outspoken about her opinions-in other words, every political consultant's nightmare, and every reader's dream. " Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with a mordant wit. . . . The campaign memoir genre takes on new life." -The Washington Post Book World "With her characteristic wit and reportorial thoroughness, Schultz describes the behind-the-scenes chaos, frustration and excitement of a political campaign and the impact it has on a candidate's family." -Minneapolis Star Tribune "Witty and anecdotal, whether read by a Democrat or a Republican." -Deseret Morning News "Frank and feisty . . . a spunky tribute to the survival of one woman's spirit under conditions in which it might have been squelched." -The Columbus Dispatch.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A debut picture book by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Connie Schultz,about a young girl named Lola who decides to be brave and stand up to a bully. Lola is a happy kid who loves recess and her imaginary dog, Tank. There's just one problem: the neighborhood bully. He hides behind a troll costume and says mean things to everyone who walks by, including Lola. Soon she starts wearing her hair differently, walking on her tippy toes to add a few extra inches to her height, and even putting cornstarch in her shoes because he said her feet stink! But when Lola's mom takes her to her favorite place, The Bee's Sneeze bookstore, the owner, Ms. Sneesby, reminds Lola that she LOVES her curly hair, her bright smile, and her big eyes. And most importantly, Ms. Sneesby reminds Lola that she is brave. Lola and the Troll is about remembering how to be brave, even when it's hard, and realizing that some-times all a bully really needs is a little kindness. Rodríguez, Sandy (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From the 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz comes fresh, clever, insightful commentary on life today: love, politics, social issues, family, and much, much more. In the tradition of Anna Quindlen, Molly Ivins, and Erma Bombeck, but with a distinctive voice and sensibility all her own, Connie Schultz comes out of the heartland of America to get you seeing, feeling, and thinking more deeply about the lives we lead today. "You might spot someone you know in the stories here," writes Connie. "Maybe you'll even find a glimpse of yourself. Yes, each of us is unique, but life happens in ways that bind us like Gorilla Glue." In Life Happens, Connie shares sharp, passionate observations, winning our hearts with personal thoughts on a wide range of topics, from finding love in middle age to the meaning behind her father's lunch pail, from single motherhood, to who really gets the tips you leave and why as the war in Iraq, race relations, gay marriage, and wwhy women don't vote. In a more humorous vein, Connie shares her mother's advice on men ("Don't marry him until you see how he treats the waitress") and warns men everywhere against using the dreaded f-word (it's not the one you think). Along the way, Connie introduces us to the heroic people who populate our world and shows us how just one person can make a difference. Charming, provocative, funny, and perceptive, Life Happens gives us, for the first time, Connie Schultz's celebrated commentary in one irresistible volume. Life Happens challenges us to be more open and alive to others and to the world around us.…
