Melissa Walker Takes ActionIn late 2016, Melissa Walker was working on her 10th novel when she went to a holiday party and heard then Senator Daniel Squadron talk about the importance of state-level politics—even for the national landscape.

This conversation is everything I wanted from the Pivots, Comebacks and Reinventions series.
