520    "Chicago is a world-class city but it is also a city in 
       crisis. Crime is up, schools have repeatedly shut down due
       to conflict between City Hall and the powerful teachers' 
       union, and COVID-19 only deepened the entrenched poverty, 
       institutional racism, and endless tug of war between the 
       city's haves and have nots. For four years, the person at 
       the center of this storm was Lori Lightfoot. A 
       groundbreaking figure—the first Black, gay woman to be 
       elected mayor of a major city and only the second female 
       mayor of Chicago—she knew the city was at a critical 
       turning point when she took office in 2019. But the once-
       in-a-lifetime challenges she ended up facing were beyond 
       anything she or anyone else saw coming.   Chicago Tribune 
       reporter Gregory Royal Pratt offers the first 
       comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the tumultuous 
       single term of Mayor Lightfoot and the chaos that roiled 
       the city and City Hall as she fought to live up to her 
       promises to change the city's culture of corruption and 
       villainy, reform its long-troubled police department, and 
       make Chicago the safest big city in America"--|cProvided
