In The Young Undecideds, the reader goes behind the scenes of the controversial campaign of high-profile, but politically inexperienced, Bobby Walker on his race to become the next Governor of Texas. As a political outsider, Bobby believes he has the power to enact change, but in order to get elected he will need a more family-friendly image. In an effort to attain more votes, Walker's team hires public school teacher Annie Stewart to assist with the campaign, but Annie's job comes with a secret that she hopes will never be revealed. The lines between reality and performance are blurred in a battle for power, leadership, and the belief in a better Texas.
