The Reluctant First Lady

Ashley Taylor has been straightforward with her husband, the president-elect of the United States. She supported his candicacy, but she has no intention of assuming the traditional role of First Lady—a position she describes as "First Hostess." Instead, she will resume her own career as head of one of the largest art museums in New York. The aftermath of her decision triggers reactions from the public, news commentators, late night comedians, and other political factions.

While Ashley and Michael wrestle with saving their marriage and preserving their professional lives, the country debates whether the role of First Lady is a necessity, how the media influences the lives of public figures, and how much a woman should sacrifice for the person she loves.
