EQUAL Parts

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 Virginia attorney. They spend many blissful evenings at out-of-the-way cafés and lunch-hour getaways in the iconic art museums of the Nation’s Capital. After all, if they were spotted together in a public place, who would suspect the handsome lawyer would take such a chance? When the leading candidate for a U.S. Senate seat from his home state is killed in a freak airplane accident, Johnathan Dent finds himself as the replacement candidate. He agonizes over an affair that could destroy his political ambitions, and perhaps even his career. Then again, maybe not. 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 based on true 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, among many others, and beyond…Yet, it doesn’t always have to end badly.
