Plot Summary of Shadows of Power
"Jennifer Bacia provides a good read by tracing the life of Andrea James, from her humble beginnings in Sydney Australia, to her rise as a political figure. Her past comes back to haunt her & her career could be shattered if her history is revealed - especially by the man she loves. This is a good book you can read in a couple of sits witout having to pay too much attention to it. Bacia spins a good tale, you put down the novel feeling like you've been told a good story. "
Donna Maroz, Resident Scholar
