An Evening with Ruth Harkin: When My Husband Ran For President and Other Short Stories

The WDM Public Library is thrilled to host Ruth Harkin to discuss her recently published book, When My Husband Ran for President and Other Short Stories. Beaverdale Books will be onsite selling copies of her book. All author proceeds are donated to the Tom and Ruth Harkin Institute. 

From the publisher: 

Mention the Harkin name in Iowa and most will recognize it because of Iowa’s long-time US Senator and Congressman Tom Harkin. However, Ruth Harkin has an incredible legacy of her own. In fact, she was the first one elected to public office during their marriage. She has been a force since she was a little girl helping and learning alongside her Grandmother in Minnesota. In When My Husband Ran For President and Other Short Stories it’s her turn to share lessons, memories, and parts of the lasting influences she has provided her family, Iowans, and the Nation.
