“The whole financial system’s rotten and it’s rotting the political system. We’ve got to get control of it before it tears the country apart.” Isabel Aragon Tennyson is heiress to a family fortune built upon the criminality of its Mexican conglomerate. After her election as president of the United States, “Tenny,” as she is popularly known, embarks on a fearless crusade to rein in the financial and political power of her own family’s company and others like it in the U.S. and around the world. But she is up against a ruthless international conspiracy determined to destroy her first. The ensuing conflict results in assassination, impeachment and murder. The Latina President is not a true story. But it could be. Its themes and conflicts are as current as today’s headlines and newscasts. The story skims the surface between fiction and reality, told by an author who himself spent decades immersed in the tense and turbulent world of high stakes politics. The Latina President is suspenseful, topical, important. And it’s one hell of a good read.
