Ballantine Buys Sanford Memoir
-- Publishers Weekly, 9/22/2009 6:19:00 AM
Ballantine Books has acquired what it is calling the “inspirational memoir” of Jenny Sanford, wife of South Carolina’s embattled governor Mark Sanford. Joy Tutela at the David Black Literary Agency made the North American rights deal with Ballantine executive editor Marnie Cochran, who will edit the book. Ballantine, which will publish in May 2010, said Sanford’s story “will grapple with the universal issue of maintaining integrity and a sense of self during life’s difficult times.” The governor made national headlines when it was discovered that instead of being off on a weekend hike he was in South America with his mistress. Jenny Sanford initially offered support for her husband, but has since moved out of the Governor’s mansion.
