Sheehy, Gail Character: America's Search for Leadership
William Morrow & Co 1988 0688080723 / 9780688080723 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - 303 pages - Stated First Edition - The author of the best-selling Passages has turned her attention again to what makes high achievers tick. In this study, she undertakes extensive interviews with the principals, and those close to them, who began the marathon of American politics in hopes that the road would end in the White House. The book assumes that an informed electorate should know more about those who would be president than is conveyed by a slick PR image. Sheehy concentrates on Hart, Gore, Dukakis, Jackson, Dole, Bush, and President Reagan as case studies. Hart is documented as his own worst enemy; Jackson has his enemies chronicled; Dole is dogged and insensitive; Bush is a plodder who tries to please too many. The crafty Gore is contrasted with the other wunderkind, Dukakis, who became flexible in defeat but retained his principles. Artistic and compelling.

Sheehy, Gail Hillary's Choice
Random House 1999 0375503447 / 9780375503443 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $23.95. Illustrated with photos. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 389 pages. - Perhaps the most frequently asked question over the last two years has been: Why does she stay with him? ("She," of course, being Hillary Rodham Clinton and "him," her husband, the President.) And there may be no one more qualified to tackle that question than bestselling author Gail Sheehy, who has been covering Hillary Clinton for Vanity Fair magazine for more than seven years. The author's book, Hillary's Choice, expands on the revelations contained in Sheehy's February 1999 Vanity Fair piece, "Hillary's Choice: Inside the Clinton Marriage," which portrayed the Clintons as an oddly complementary — if, by most standards, dysfunctional — pair, neither of whom might have risen as far as they have without their particular mix of yin and yang. In Hillary's Choice, Sheehy expands on the insights contained in that profile and further explores the path Hillary Rodham Clinton has followed to this point. Hers was a strict upbringing: Her father had trained young naval recruits for battle in World War II, and his approach to child rearing was not so different from his military tactics. As Sheehy has written, in the Rodham household, "Life was seen as combat." So it's perhaps no surprise that Hillary Clinton now shifts quickly into battle mode when she senses outside attacks on her "camp." For it is, Sheehy attests, Hillary, not Bill, who possesses the killer instinct and toughness necessary to battle back when her husband's transgressions have threatened to derail him politically. Indeed, as Sheehy wrote in the aforementionedVanityFair profile, "[H]is recklessness and her love of stepping in to save the day have created a dynamic of crisis (his) and management (hers). They seem to thrive on it." The Clintons, it seems, are a prime example of that old saw, Behind every great man stands a woman. Sheehy suggests that, though the young Bill Clinton was not without ambition, it was Hillary who possessed the vision and foresight required to perceive how far he could go and just what sort of guidance and even prodding he might require to get there. And it appears likely that, to at least some degree, the roles are now to be reversed, that it will soon be Hillary in the spotlight and her husband in the support role — if in fact she does, as expected, announce her Senate candidacy. Sheehy explores how the dynamics of the Clintons' marriage might change in that course of events. Hillary's Choice offers many other revelations as well, as Sheehy sheds light on Hillary's symbiotic relationship with political guru Dick Morris, reveals the true reason Clinton couldn't help Hillary pass health-care reform, uncovers the source of Hillary's hostility toward the press, explores how Hillary avoided prosecution by Ken Starr, and reports why Hillary chose to seek her own political voice. Hillary's Choice is an unblinking but fair-minded examination of a man, a woman, and their often confounding partnership. It fills in many of the gaps that have remained in accounts of the Clintons' triumphs and tribulations and brings the reader up to date on how their relationship and their individual careers might develop in the future.

Sheehy, Gail Middletown, America: One Town's Passage from Trauma to Hope
Random House Inc 2003 0375508627 / 9780375508622 First Edition Hard Cover As New As New
New / Unread copy. Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 412 pages. - Fifty people never came home to Middletown, New Jersey after September 11th. Wall Street fathers, young Port Authority police, single working moms, the beloved coach of the championship girls traveling basketball team. Three toddlers in one church pre-school lost their daddies. Dozens of widows, young and beautiful girls in their 20s and 30s, some still nursing newborns, watched their dreams literally go up in smoke in that amphitheater of death across the river. Gail Sheehy traveled to Middletown shortly after the disaster and began in-depth interviews with many of the bereaved. Middletown, America was written as the year progressed, following parallel and intertwining stories of selected individuals and their families. A mother who was doubly bereft when she lost her only son as he tried to fill the shoes of her absentee husband; the sole survivor in an office of 67 people who escaped the 88th floor of Tower 2 seconds before the floor was decimated. Here are the fire-fighters, rescue workers and front-line public health volunteers, now training to be soldiers in this new war. Of equal importance, however, is the way these very real individuals dealt with this disaster and the trauma that followed. Middletown, America is also a story of recovery and of the ways people finally learn to deal with seemingly insurmountable grief and an incomprehensible physical and financial disaster. The New York Times Ms. Sheehy's detailed reporting of her subjects' experiences -- she says she did more than 900 interviews as well as follow-up phone calls and e-mail exchanges -- still makes for compelling reading. We are introduced to widows of hard-driving Wall Street traders; to survivors who somehow made it out of the towers; to the families of cops who died in the rescue effort; to siblings, parents and friends of people who were at work at the World Trade Center that sunny September morning.

Sheehy, Gail New Passages: Mapping Your Life Across Time
Random House Inc 1995 0394589130 / 9780394589138 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 499 pages. 2 pages have very-light writing. - People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to grow old. A fifty-year-old woman -- who remains free of cancer and heart disease -- can expect to see her ninety-second birthday. Men, too, can expect a dramatically lengthened life span. The old demarcations and descriptions of adulthood -- beginning at twenty-one and ending at sixty-five -- are hopelessly out of date. In New Passages, Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a completely new frontier -- a Second Adulthood in middle life. "Stop and recalculate," Sheehy writes. "Imagine the day you turn forty-five as the infancy of another life." Instead of declining, men and women who embrace a Second Adulthood are progressing through entirely new passages into lives of deeper meaning, renewed playfulness, and creativity -- beyond both male and female menopause. Through hundreds of personal and group interviews, national surveys of professionals and working-class people, and fresh findings extracted from fifty years of U.S. Census reports, Sheehy vividly dramatizes these newly developing stages. Combining the scholar's ability to synthesize data with the novelist's gift for storytelling, she allows us to make sense of our own lives by understanding others like us. New Passages tells us we have the ability to customize our own life cycle. This groundbreaking work is certain to awaken and permanently alter the way we think about ourselves.

Sheehy, Gail Understanding Men's Passages: Discovering the New Map of Men's Lives
Random House Inc 1998 0679452737 / 9780679452737 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 294 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. Synopsis Her stunning bestsellers Passages and New Passages brilliantly mapped the changes we live through from youth to maturity. Now Gail Sheehy guides contemporary men through the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that begin at forty. As a man crosses that threshold, he is bound to ask midlife's most troubling question: Now what? Work anxieties, concerns over sexual potency, marital and family stress, issues of power, all take on new urgency as men contemplate the decades ahead. But as Gail Sheehy reveals in this major new book, midlife is precisely the period when men are most likely to reinvent themselves and become masters of their fate. In Understanding Men's Passages, Sheehy offers all men--and the women in their lives--an essential guide to self-discovery. Hundreds of bold, imaginative men--celebrities as well as everyday heroes--share here their most intimate desires, deepest fears, and most fervent cravings for renewal. Decade by decade, Sheehy uncovers the real issues facing men today: finding new passion and purpose to invigorate the second half of their lives, dealing with "manopause," surviving job change, enjoying post-nesting zest, defeating depression, and learning what keeps a man young. Informative and inspiring, grounded in fact and full of fascinating life stories, Understanding Men's Passages is a landmark that will take its place beside Gail Sheehy's epoch-making Passages and New Passages.
