Jenny Sanford’s memoir to arrive two months early

For all those political junkies who are waiting with bated breath for
South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford’s memoir to be released, the
wait just got significantly shorter.

The book’s publisher, Ballantine Books, announced Tuesday that the memoir will be released Feb. 5, instead of the previously announced April release.

Titled Staying True, the book chronicles Sanford’s efforts to take care of her four young boys during the dissolution of her marriage to Gov. Mark Sanford (R).

{mosads}Sanford admitted to an extramarital affair in June of last year, and in December Jenny Sanford announced she was seeking a divorce after “many unsuccessful efforts at reconciliation.”

The publisher’s online synopsis says that Sanford will “reveal her private ordeal” and describe “the many ways that the seductions of power can drive apart even the most committed couples.”

The memoir is 240 pages long, and the cover is a photo of Sanford wearing a salmon-pink top and sitting in a wheat field.
