Within this candid and powerful memoir, the first woman of South Carolina shows the private ordeal behind her very public betrayal—and offers inspiration for anyone attempting to keep beliefs during life’s most striving times.
She’s been a successful investment banker, a mother of four, and the marketing campaign manager for one of American politics’ growing stars—her man, Make Sanford of South Carolina, once greatly hailed just as one candidate for president in 2012. Yet to many Us citizens, Jenny Sanford is most beneficial known for the one role she refused to play—that of classic political spouse standing silently by while her man went prior to the multimedia and confessed his infidelity. Instead, she stayed true—to herself, to her beliefs, and her highest ideals of parenthood and public service. She thought we would let Make Sanford package with the shame and political fallout from his own activities while concentrating her own work privately on increasing their children to be men of character, even in the face of the lies their daddy has informed.
In Staying True, Jenny Sanford recalls her shock and anguish upon discovering that her man was having an affair with a female in Argentina, and the further pain when she learned—just a day ahead of most Us citizens—that he had not ended the affair when she presumed he had. She reveals the foundation of her perseverance in all honesty and forthright instead of the sufferer in the tabloid enthusiasm play that gripped the nation in June 2009.
But her history neither begins nor ends with Make Sanford’s incredible fall from elegance. Writing with unusual candor from a profound well of religious strength, Sanford stocks personal reviews and life lessons from before and after she stepped into the public world. She recounts the countless strains—as well as the myriad joys—that she experienced on a daily basis while residing in the governmental spotlight. (Just try keeping four young boys out of mischief in the governor’s mansion!) And she details the many ways that the seductions of vitality can drive apart even the most determined lovers.
At every step along her quest, Jenny Sanford has made selections: She gave up her career, changed far from her home point out of Illinois, even evolved her religious tactics. Every choice was a glad concession to harmonious married life and, in some instances, to the support of her man’s political aspirations. However the one thing she never gave up was her sense of home, her interior moral compass. Her amazing poise and decency make her a job model for men and women alike. Her history will empower whoever has fought to keep self-reliance and integrity—within the marriage or anywhere else in life.
