Alice may be the president's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. 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. 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 she soldiers through the devastation of two world wars, it's no wonder everyone in the capital refers to her as the Other Washington Monument - and Alice intends to outlast them all.
