In the powerful, intoxicating atmosphere of Washington, D.C., Isabelle Benton Stoker, a stylish interior designer in Georgetown, falls in love with Johnathan Dent, a prominent and very married attorney. They spend blissful times at out-of-the-way cafes, lunch-hour getaways and the iconic art museums of the Nation s Capital. After all, who would suspect the hard-working lawyer from the horse country of Middleburg, Virginia would take such a chance? When Johnathan Dent finds himself a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat, he agonizes over an affair that could destroy his political ambitions, and perhaps even his career. Gennifer Flowers, Fannie Fox and Donna Rice became famous for doing just that. Could Isabelle Stoker do the same? EQUAL Parts explores this classic tale of love and betrayal inspired by all too familiar events. It s a story that has captivated historians since Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, Dwight Eisenhower and Kay Summersby, John Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, to name just a few. Does it always have to end badly? EQUAL Parts is set in Richmond, Charlottesville and Middleburg, against a vivid backdrop of fast horses and colorful characters. With a fusion of money and mayhem, the book weaves in rampaging foxhounds, wild women and several riveting plot twists. REVIEWS "A captivating read on scandal and power in the nation's capital, written by a Washington insider." Kerry Sanders, NBC News Correspondent "Author and equestrienne Vicky Moon writes clearly and with great sensitivity on subjects ranging from Jackie Kennedy's love of horses to the fascinating quirks of the celebrities and ordinary residents of Middleburg, Virginia. She brings to this novel an insider's knowledge of the glamour, mystique and intrigue that make up the innermost enclaves of Washington, D.C. I see a movie deal in the making!" - Marion Elizabeth Rogers, author of Mencken: The American Iconoclast, Oxford University Press. "A juicy read that will have Washington insiders not only guessing - but arguing - who the characters are in real life. -- Kevin Chaffee, Senior Editor Washington Life"
