He takes readers inside the decisions behind the state’s tornado and COVID responses, the tension between protecting lives and preserving livelihoods, and the policies, partnerships, and legislative fights that defined an administration. Along the way, Eley reveals how the Lee’s personal losses shaped his leadership and how he and the First Lady navigated personal crises while facing public ones.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNever perfect but always present\u003c\/b\u003e, Governor Bill Lee and those who worked alongside him served Tennesseans through eight tumultuous years.
