Sara Goodman Confino Author Talk

Reading and book signing by author of Behind Every Good Man

Join us for a reading by Sara Goodman Confino, author of four best-selling women's fiction novels. The reading will be followed by book sales and signing.

Sara Goodman Confino is the author of four best-selling women's fiction novels, including For the Love of Friends, Don't Forget to Write and She's Up to No Good. Her latest, Behind Every Good Man, has been called "Bold, empowering, and deliciously entertaining" by Jean Meltzer. Pam Jenoff has encouraged readers to "Run, do not walk, to sip and savor this smart-yet-funny cocktail of a novel." 

It’s a doozy of a bad day for Beverly Diamond when she catches her husband, Larry, in a compromising position with his secretary. What’s a DC suburban wife to do with a soon-to-be ex, two young kids, and no degree or financial support in 1962? Beat the louse at his own game, that’s what.

Larry runs the Maryland senatorial campaign for the incumbent candidate projected to win against his younger underdog opponent, Michael Landau. But Beverly has the pluck, political savvy, and sheer drive to push Landau’s campaign in a successful new direction, even if he already has a campaign manager who is less than pleased she has inserted herself into the race.

Now it’s rival against rival. She and Michael do make a great team…maybe in more ways than one. But with the election heating up, she needs to focus on one thing at a time. If Bev can convince Michael to go modern, pay attention to women’s issues, and learn how to dress himself properly, maybe she can show Larry exactly how much he has underestimated her their entire marriage―and make her own dreams come true in the process.

Sara Goodman Confino teaches English and journalism in Montgomery County. She will be joining us to read an excerpt from Behind Every Good Man, answer a few questions from readers, sign and sell books.
