Ms. Brazile's soon-to-be bestseller, Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots in American Politics, is flying off bookstore shelves and is already being widely quoted on the political talk show circuit.With the aroma of fried catfish and a side of red beans and rice as the backdrop, Ms. Brazile regaled the standing room only crowd gathered at the DNC with stories from the political trail. The book starts with her fond memories growing up in Kenner, Louisiana and walks readers through her days as a student organizer to campaigning side-by-side with one of her heroes, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., during his '84 presidential campaigns, to being the first African American woman to lead a major presidential campaign.You can read excerpts from her book (http://mailer.democrats.org/rdr/002Rc000SM00053) and purchase copies by visiting Sister Space - a bookstore devoted to selling books by or about African American women.
