| Publisher Description: Shortly after the Conservatives win a majority government in the 2011 federal election, the prime minister discovers a secret weapon in his caucus--Jisbella Lyth, a single mother with a limited understanding of her role as an MP. Using her ignorance to his advantage, the PM hatches a plan to have Jisbella front and center in a campaign of misdirection and distraction. Humorous and clever, Proud explores the corrosive nature of the politics of division. "Deftly written and often laugh-out-loud funny, Healey's script keeps surprising us, taking unexpected turns both in its narrative and character development." -- NOW Magazine "Funny and foul-mouthed, yet surprisingly sweet." -- Globe and Mail |
