An American Princess by Stephanie Marie Thornton


Just finished reading this novel of first daughter Alice Roosevelt Longworth which I found truly intriguing.  The only female Roosevelt that I was aware of was of course, Eleanor.  This novel gives a broad view of historic events from before the World War through the perspective of a young woman growing up amongst the powerful elite of Washington D.C and the key players of the first part of the 19th century.  I like her strong confidence and powerful voice in a time before women did not even have the right to vote.
