Honestly, this has been A WEEK and though I have about ten library books on my TBR pile and I am reading a really good non fiction book at the moment, I couldn't read any of them yesterday. Meg, her family, her friends, they are what matter. Some things are a little dated: the tv shows, the technology (no omnipresent cell phones/laptops/iPods). Her relationship with her family, her powerful mother in particular, her friends, her kidnapper, are all painful, and yet her battle to survive and recover her self makes me cry every time I read this book. Her saga from here on, while bloodcurdling, is my favorite fictional hero story. She has hopes for the summer, though, as the last week of school comes to a close.Īnd then, thanks to an assist from one of her own security detail, she is kidnapped as she leaves school. Security has been even tighter since her mother's shooting in the previous book, and Meg's plans to compete are the source of major arguments with her parents and the Secret Service. Meg is in her senior year, restless under the constraints on her ambitions as a tennis player that are the result of being the President's daughter. A warning: this book is not for the squeamish. It's my favorite of White's President's Daughter quartet, a book about damage and the hard road back by a woman who served as a nurse in Vietnam and ought to know. I'm re-reading this book for the sixth or eighth time I'm not really sure.
