Straight from the Heart

Ann Richardsâ€”now the subject of the Broadway play Annâ€”tells her life story in her own trademark candor and spicy humor.

Straight from the Heart is Ann Richardsâ€™s story, told with the candor and spicy humor that were her trademarks. Born in a tiny town near Waco, Texas, she entered politics when her husband wouldnâ€™tâ€”and went on to become state treasurer, the first woman elected to statewide office in Texas in fifty years. She had her victories and her battles (the breakup of a thirty-year marriage and a bout with alcohol), but her love of Texas and Texas politics made her who she was.

This extraordinary memoir by one of the nationâ€™s leading politicians proves the wisdom of her observation that women â€œcan have a good and wonderful life, but that it only begins when they accept responsibility for it, not when they expect someone else to make it happen.â€ Richards talks openly about the course of her life and the choices she made on the way. Her hard-won triumphs and savvy political career provide inspiring examples for all.
