True Stories. Well Written.
Born into a family with lake properties and trust funds, but raised on food stamps, Deb climbed out of poverty to high-level work on Capitol Hill.
Deb has:
Picked apples and written legislation to clean up nuclear waste;
Toured underground bunkers in Iraq;
Been held at gunpoint in the Kremlin;
Uncovered government malfeasance toward US veterans;
Raised billions of dollars for the UN and global health causes;
Served as a Foreign Service “trailing spouse;” and
Raised three awesome human beings.
Deb gravitates toward stories about people overcoming disasters. Her latest book, The Secrets We Shared, is the tale of discovering—at the age of fifty-five—that her father was a sociopath.
