American Princess

Alice Roosevelt grows up the wild, outspoken daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, thrust into the public eye within months of her father taking office. Chafing against the limits placed on women in Washington, Alice uses her celebrity, and her instinct for politics, to make herself impossible to ignore, smoking, gambling, and speaking her mind in a city that expects silence from First Daughters.

As she falls for a smooth-talking congressman and later builds a decades-long career as one of Washington's sharpest political observers, Alice survives family feuds, personal heartbreak, and the upheavals of two world wars to become one of the era's most enduring public figures.
