    American Princess
    This take of Alice Roosevelt's life is a breezy entertaining read. While familiar with her basic story - eldest daughter of TR, and a character in her own right - 'American Princess' puts a human spin on her story, as the author tells it from Alice's point of view. I only wish that there had been more emphasis on her later life, but that lack of focus doesn't detract from the overall impression of Alice Roosevelt as a woman both of and ahead of her time. A very enjoyable read.
