There Is Still a Pond
$4.99
Gideon Marsh takes his ambitions beyond the Meadow and into the state legislature. There Is Still a Pond follows budgets, lobbying, alliances, and compromises in a warm political satire about learning government’s machinery without forgetting whom it is meant to serve.
Description
Gideon Marsh has discovered that he likes being useful—and winning elections. When a path opens from the Meadow to the state legislature, he follows it into a larger world of budgets, polls, lobbyists, and competing needs.
Tess remains beside him, asking questions that political machinery can overlook. Former rivals become allies, experts bring interests as well as expertise, and popular choices encounter practical limits. Passing a law turns out to be easier than making reality cooperate.
There Is Still a Pond offers warm political satire about ambition and the work of governing. As Gideon learns the system, the story keeps returning to the people and places public office is supposed to help.
