Connie Schultz

Connie Schultz's experience as a newspaper columnist and campaign spouse shapes . . . and His Lovely Wife. Random House released the memoir in 2007, with a paperback following in 2008. It follows Schultz during Sherrod Brown’s 2006 campaign for the United States Senate, recording the demands of public events, press attention, a blended family, and her temporary departure from column writing. Schultz had won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for her work at Cleveland’s Plain Dealer. The book applies her reportorial eye to political life from a perspective usually reduced to ceremonial appearances, while retaining the humor and personal detail noted in the publisher’s description.
