the long version

It's time someone changed this town. Our heroine -- the beautiful, young, idealist Justine Swensen -- is headed to Washington, DC to find a place where she can truly make a difference. She'll work behind the scenes from the bottom of the legislative branch to the top of the executive. She'll exert pressure as an external consultant and non-profit leader. And she'll meet with journalists, think tanks, and lobbyists before finally running for political office herself. Follow her thirty-year career as she meets funny, inspiring, and infuriating bureaucrats. After navigating these Kafkaesque mazes with Justine, you'll learn the moral of her story too. To change this town, you have to know this town.
