Inhaltsangabe

Mention the Harkin name in Iowa and most will recognize it because of Iowa's long-time US Senator and Congressman Tom Harkin. However, Ruth Harkin has an incredible legacy of her own. In fact, she was the first one elected to public office during their marriage. She has been a force since she was a little girl in Minnesota helping and learning alongside her Grandmother in Minnesota. In When My Husband Ran For President and Other Short Stories it's her turn to share lessons, memories, and parts of the lasting influences she has provided her family, Iowans, and the Nation.
