About this listen
In January 2010, Calista Caldwell, a fresh journalism graduate, arrives in Capital City. She secures what appears to be an ideal position as a political aide to the seasoned municipal councillor, Ralph Mastronzo.
While Cal grows fond of the community, she grapples with the realities of being a young woman in a male-dominated political arena. Can her dedication to serving the community compensate for the strain on her well-being and personal life?
Join her through a taxing municipal election year that pushes her to her absolute limits.

Story Impressions –
Will Calista learn to wade through the sexism that is pervasive throughout Capital City politics, or will she cave under the pressure? Before the MeToo Movement, Consumed in Capital City is an eye-opening account of one woman’s journey from journalist graduate to political assistant on the staff of a municipal councillor. Yes, this is a fictional story, but it’s rooted in truth. Ask any woman who enters the political arena, and she will tell you a story like our heroine, Calista. I couldn’t stop listening to Consumed in Capital City and it’s one I recommend every person to read.
