CINDY MCCAIN: ELEGANCE, GOOD WILL AND HOPE FOR A NEW AMERICA

Book ID/图书代码： 05170008B23835

English Summary/英文概要： Cindy McCain: Elegance, Good Will, and Hope for a New America is the first biography of a woman whose struggles and charity work have inspired millions of Americans. Cindy McCain is a leading executive in her own right-and one of John McCain’s most trusted advisors. As first lady, she would continue that role.
Cindy McCain’s struggles with drug addiction, which she eventually overcame, have been well documented. She is also an extraordinarily successful-and wealthy-woman. She is chair of Hensley & Co., one of the nation’s largest Anheuser-Busch distributors. She ran the American Voluntary Medical Team from 1988 to 1995, which provided emergency care to disaster-struck regions of the Third World. She continues to be an active philanthropist. Cindy McCain: Elegance, Good Will, and Hope for a New America will examine her life and her other struggles, such as her near-full recovery from a stroke. An active and visible player in her husband’s presidential campaign, Cindy McCain has stated that the American public wants a First Lady of the United States who will assume a traditional role. If her husband becomes president, she would not attend Cabinet meetings, but would continue her involvement in overseas nonprofit organizations and would urge Americans to do the same globally or locally.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 根據美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）15日公佈「民調中的民調」，民主黨總統候選人歐巴馬經過一個星期的苦苦追趕，15日終於追平共和黨對手麥肯，兩人目前以45％的民意支持度打成平手。從歐巴馬與希拉蕊的大戰到現在兩位第一夫人與麥肯的副手裴琳，這注定是一場由女性主導的選戰。Google上關於這兩位第一夫人有超過27萬筆資料。
Globe Pequot Press在9月11日的Amazon’s Kindle上獨家發售辛蒂與蜜雪兒傳記的電子書。11月大選後，才會出版紙本。目前美國書市關於這兩位重要女性的傳記還是很少。
富裕家庭長大的辛蒂，曾經勇敢克服藥物成癮的困擾，並長期從事慈善活動。黑人藍領階級家庭長大的蜜雪兒，是個擁有哈佛法學博士學位，獨立的女強人。現在是芝加哥大學附屬醫院社區與對外事務副總監。這兩位將成為風格迥然不同的第一夫人，而她們的人生經驗、生活哲學透過對於另一半的影響力將對美國甚至是全世界造成影響。
目前出版社能夠搶先購買美國第一夫人傳記的出版權!!(VC)
