“Presidential darling, America’s sweetheart, national rebel: Teddy Roosevelt’s swashbuckling daughter Alice springs to life in this raucous anthem to a remarkable woman.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress

A sweeping novel from renowned author Stephanie Marie Thornton...

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 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, 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 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.

Great historical fiction

What a wonderful depiction of Alice Roosevelt Longworth's life story. I was sad when it ended. I could listen to tales of her escapades for hours on end.

Wonderful Read!

I had my doubts starting this book, until 5 minutes in. Captivating, interesting and informative!

Stephanie's words come to life thanks to Elizabeth

This was a fascinating story, I deeply enjoyed Elizabeth's performance. I could feel Alice's pain, joy and power all the way through. Thank you for bringing such an amazing woman back to life.

American Rebel

Devoured this book, and loved every minute of it!!! Alice was truly before her time, and lived abundantly. I was struck by her loneliness throughout her life, and truly empathized for her. She was brilliant, and so very well read. Politicians requested her advice for decisions that had to be made regarding America. I wish she could have been President! She would have run our country with ease. I highly recommend this book!

loved this!

Angela Lansbury's narration of this book was magnificent! I could totally visualize what Alice looked and acted like. I am not an avid reader but really enjoyed this bood!!
