"Alice may be the president's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. 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, DC, is to make waves--oceans of them. 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. But Washington 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"--Page 4 of cover.

Alice Roosevelt was a rebel before her time. With her father suddenly becoming the President of the United States, her world shifted just a bit.
As a headstrong young lady, she wanted her own way, but throughout the book, you find that she was really just wanting her father to notice her, to pay attention to her.
An interesting read. I am going to admit that I struggled a bit reading this one. It just did not captivate me and make me want to rush through. As a history teacher, finding books that I can add to my list of approved reading for students is important. If I struggled reading this, I am not sure how students would react to it. However, each person reads a book differently. While I felt the author had great information, and a good backbone for the book, I just did not feel enthralled with the book overall.
