From the Publisher

Lorelei King narrates a captivating view of Florentyna Rosnovski, a Polish immigrant’s daughter raised in luxury, with aspirations for the White House. She's portrayed with wit, style, and grace, a dream candidate with a brilliant mind and will of steel. She runs her father’s empire of hotels, little knowing this will lay the groundwork for her political ambitions. King portrays her with warmth and candor in clear, articulate tones. King's portrayal of veteran Danny-One-Leg is outstanding and sets the scene for Florentyna's appointment to head the Veterans Benefits Committee. Although idealized, the story, part of Archer’s Kane and Abel series, is well dramatized. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
