Jenny Sanford to Pen 'Inspirational Memoir'

Ballantine Books won't disclose fee for May 2010 release

Share

(Newser) – Jenny Sanford will write an “inspirational memoir” to be released by Random House next spring, CNN reports. The publisher is mum on how much the estranged wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will get for her trouble. The fairer half of the couple has been fairly tight-lipped since the news of her husband’s affair broke in June. The deal marks a revival of the Sanfords' literary fortunes: the governor had an agreement with Sentinel Publishing that was axed in July.

The book is likely to appeal to women married to or divorced from hypocritical "family values" Christian men seeking positions of power and influence...in other words, a sure best seller!

actually that does sound like a growing market. Hopefully Larry Craig's wife can write a memoir how she married a conservative senator who apparently also wanted to get his gay on in the airport bathroom.
