"The title is telling. Candace Gingrich was indeed an accidental activist, coaxed into the limelight by the political ascension of her Big Half Brother Newt. And with the publication of this memoir, she becomes an accidental author as well. But if you are inclined to dismiss her as either activist or author, as I admit I was ready to do, let me suggest that she was an accident waiting to happen....[A] genuine voice emerges through the boilerplate. It is not an eloquent voice, nor a sophisticated one. She has little new to say....As activist and author, Candace Gingrich rises and falls on two related strengths: an utter lack of pretension and a visceral anger at those who would dismiss, falsify or malign the quality of her life.Gingrich, Candace is the author of 'Accidental Activist A Personal and Political Memoir' with ISBN 9780684836553 and ISBN 0684836556.
