Memoirs of The Senator’s Wife is an enthralling work of historical, speculative, romantic, and mystical fiction that is as riveting plotwise as it is epic in scope and socially conscious. Author S. M. Ford gifts us a storyline that is complex and well-woven enough to earn this book page-turning status; though, the depth of the characters and empowerment granted to women’s issues, along with the factual basis of the historic elements, succeed in lifting the book up out of those checkout-counter or bargain-bin romances you might picture upon hearing the “page-turner” claim. This one is something special.
We follow Estella on her journey from college and through the hardships of love and heartbreak, and a devastating marriage. Throw in a touch of the Cold War-era vision, ambition, and politics that went along with the Apollo days, plus all that was going on at the time with civil rights, and you have yourself an epic plot. And this says nothing about the mysticism and twists and surprises—and, of course, the steamy, borderline-eroticism.
Memoirs of The Senator’s Wife is a character-based romance at its core, centred around Stella, but it achieves so much more. It blends the past and politics, and stirs in plenty of romance and suspense. Above all, however, it is the unique and captivating storyline that earns the book’s accolades.

Chapter one is set in 1940 Texas where Estella’s childhood comes into view.“Two decades later, a frustrated mother was shouting at her young daughter to clean up for supper.‘Estellaaaaaa, get out of the sun! You look like a field hand and your hair is a mess!’”Estella’s mother had big dreams for her daughter that did not seem possible for this poor family at the time.This story ambitiously tackles the intermingling of the relationship between men and women, their strengths, their sexuality, their betrayals. Set in a historical backdrop of the society and politics of the time from this beginning to Estella’s present life as wife to a senator, poverty, racism, and ambition enter in to further expand the story.Add in a Secret Service agent protecting her husband who develops a connection with Estella and the plot develops.
