BOOK EXCERPTS
Tell me how you feel about something, her mother said. About what? Meg asked. Anything. Just tell me how you really feel about something. Okay. Meg folded her arms across her chest. I dont like reporters, Secret Service agents, or starting school tomorrow. No argument there, her mother said. I wish we still lived in Massachusetts, I wish you were an English teacher, I wish . . . She stopped. Do you really wish I were an English teacher? her mother asked. Meg shrugged. Just anything but president, right? said her mother. It could be worse. Meg said. What do you mean? You could be pope.
BOOK REVIEWS
"Rarely have I read such a nuanced, realistic, understanding and forgiving mother/daughter relationship."--A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy (blog) on The President's Daughter "Her characters are sometimes sarcastic; they are also honest and vulnerable. Over and over, I believe her characters to be real; fully formed; I would recognize them on the street. They are flawed, they are funny, they are a mix of good and bad. They are complex."--A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy (blog) on Ellen Emerson White
