ABOUT AMERICAN PRINCESS:
The only child of Theodore Roosevelt’s first wife who died days after giving birth to her, Alice was set apart from infancy as Roosevelt’s living reminder of tragedy. Thornton has crafted an intimate look into the mind of a woman who took individuality in her stride.

From her debutante ball at seventeen, through the tumultuous relationship with a congressman, to the last years of her life as an woman with no regrets, Thornton delivers a captivating look at an American icon.
