Running a presidential campaign might seem the craziest thing in the world to most people. Candace Reid is not most people. The affable Governor of New York is used to controlled chaos. A state that requires her attention, competing ideas from advisers, personal attacks from adversaries, press conferences, campaign stops, speeches, testifying before congress, children seeking guidance, babies requiring diaper changes, and aging parents are all part of her daily life. Balancing it all might be the best preparation anyone has had for the presidency. On the heels of clinching the Democratic nomination for president, Candace is struck by personal tragedy. As Candace mourns the loss of her mother, her political rivals look to tie her to an embassy bombing in Moscow nearly a decade earlier. She learns more truths about the inner workings of presidential politics, international relations and the influence of the intelligence community in all of it. Jameson struggles to deal with the changing landscape of their life and Candace's inclination to protect her. A painful piece of Jameson's past is about to resurface, and the family must learn to deal with the constant presence of the Secret Service. Through unexpected upheavals, hurtful accusation, heartfelt celebrations, earaches, broken wrists, passionate kisses, endless hotel rooms, and a few ice cream cones, the Reid family must learn how to cope with life apart and find a way to stick together. The road to the White House will test every member of the family and remind them of what matters most. First, they will need to be victorious on ELECTION DAY. ELECTION DAY is the tenth installment in the best-selling BY DESIGN series.

It's often said that in life everything happens all at one. New York's new First Family is about to find out the meaning of that familiar expression. Just a few months into her first term as governor, Candace Reid already has a full plate. Managing the business of the State of New York is a challenge that requires creativity, intelligence, and infinite patience. And, that isn't the greatest challenge facing Governor Reid. With three grown children, and three grandchildren underfoot, the thought of becoming parents to a toddler would have seemed preposterous less than a year earlier to Candace and her wife Jameson. Now, the pair finds themselves juggling the demands of work, the issues facing their grown children, and the needs of their four-year-old adopted son Cooper. A devastating accident in the state, hurtful allegations, the meddling of distant family members, a health scare, and competing personalities will put Candace and Jameson to the test. As the storms of life rage and pass, Candace and Jameson must endeavor to find their way forward. To succeed, they will require patience, compassion, love, and laughter-the Building Blocks for the future. Falling in love may happen in an instant, relationships and families are BY DESIGN, Building Blocks is the seventh installment in the BY DESIGN series.
