A look inside the controversial 2001 Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal Leadership Race.

"It's Just Politics is a captivating story of communications up-and-comer, Sonia Glover, who was tapped to provide PR support to seasoned and experienced cabinet minister John Efford during the toughest fight of his political career ? his bid to become Leader of the Liberal Party and the 8th Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. Glover provides important and blunt reminders from her personal and behind-the-scenes insights of a fierce leadership battle that saw a winner declared on a cold February night, but no one in the Liberal Party could celebrate victory. A must-read, the book is well-written and effectively portrays one of the most divisive leadership contests in NL's political history." - Dwight Ball, Former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

"Sonia B. Glover spins a great political yarn with her intriguing memoir about the contentious Liberal Party leadership battle between the man she worked for, John Efford, and the eventual winner, Roger Grimes. There is nothing quite like an inside baseball first-hand account of the high jinks behind the curtain and Glover brings us exactly that. Many refer to politics as a blood sport and in this case noses were bloodied and the party seriously divided. This is a great read!" - Paddy Daly, Host of VOCM Open Line

"As a key worker for Cabinet Minister John Efford and as a political neophyte, Sonia Glover had a front row seat to observe the shenanigans in leadership races that would shock most citizens. This behind the scenes account of an important event in Newfoundland and Labrador politics is a compelling take on the rough and tumble world of party politics. The book is more engaging with each page... Glover is a good storyteller who hooks her reader in." Alex Marland, Author of Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada
