American Princess begins when Alice Roosevelt’s father, Teddy, becomes the President of America, and Alice moves into the White House. My Review: Alice Roosevelt is known as one of America’s most scandalous First Daughters. As Alice soldiers through the devastation of two world wars and brazens out a cutting feud with her famous Roosevelt cousins, it's no wonder everyone in the capital refers to her as the Other Washington Monument-and Alice intends to outlast them all. With the canny sophistication of the savviest politician on the Hill, Alice uses her celebrity to her advantage, testing the limits of her power and the seductive thrill of political entanglements.īut Washington, DC is rife with heartaches and betrayals, and when Alice falls hard for a smooth-talking congressman it will take everything this rebel has to emerge triumphant and claim her place as an American icon. As bold as her signature color Alice Blue, the gum-chewing, cigarette-smoking, poker-playing First Daughter discovers that the only way for a woman to stand out in Washington is to make waves-oceans of them. Synopsis: Alice may be the president's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. Source: Netgalley/Publisher in exchange for an honest review. American Princess: A Novel of First Daughter Alice Roosevelt
