In the first novel of The Capital City Series, it's January 2010, and recent journalism graduate Calista Caldwell arrives in Capital City, stepping into an unfamiliar world. Thrust into the high-stakes political arena as a political assistant to seasoned Councillor Ralph Mastronzo, she faces a daunting challenge: pursuing her career ambitions while navigating the pressures of a male-dominated field.
As Cal navigates the treacherous waters of city politics, she finds herself torn between the demands of her career and her personal life. Struggling with the all-consuming nature of her new environment, she forms an unexpected bond with two colleagues who become her temporary found family, providing the support she needs to survive in a political world that feels increasingly foreign as she neglects her other personal relationships.
But as the municipal election year unfolds, the relentless pace and harsh realities of the political world push Cal to her limits. Will she rise to the occasion and transform into the woman she's meant to be, or will the cost be too great?
Join Cal in this coming-of-age story that explores the tension between career and love, the transformative power of friendships, and the resilience needed to thrive when you're a fish out of water.
