“[A] delightful cast of well-rounded secondary characters and sprinkled with a dash of romance, the novel shows the power of blazing one’s own trail, even against frightening odds. Readers who love strong female leads won’t want to miss this one. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novels Review, Editors’ Choice

“Politics and passion make for a heady combination in Sara Goodman Confino’s new rom-com, Behind Every Good Man. Revenge, empowerment, and, of course, romance converge with ease, and readers will cheer for Beverly as she engineers the political campaign of her philandering husband’s handsome rival. Run, do not walk, to sip and savor this smart-yet-funny cocktail of a novel, the style of which is rapidly becoming Confino’s signature drink.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Sapphire

“Behind Every Good Man is the political rom-com we need! A smart and funny novel that blends female empowerment, humor, motherhood and brilliant political strategizing. Beverly should run political campaigns today! At a time when women were not prominent in politics, Beverly deftly handles a cheating husband, two young children and a fledgling campaign. Propulsive plot and nuanced characters are clearly Confino’s trademarks.” —Jo Piazza, bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance
