"A cute romance"
After two years as the First Daughter, Jocelyn
Wakefield cannot stand being the paragon of behavior that
she must be while her father occupies the White House.
Needing some breathing room, Jocelyn decides to escape the
net of the Secret Service and the even worse trappings of
the media circus that reports her every movement down to a
sneeze. She plans to spend a day in town as just another
Jane Doe American. With the help of her grandmother, non-Jocelyn escapes
her White House prison only to crash into political
columnist Grady Tucker, who could easily destroy more than
just her day off with a few strokes of his word processor.
However, he finds Jocelyn more charming in person than as
her father's hostess. Without her retinue of protectors
and media maniacs, Grady and Jocelyn find they are
attracted to one another. However, talk about the wrong
side of the tracks, can a nationally syndicated political
reporter and the daughter of the President find the time,
privacy, and trust to allow love to soar like a bird in the
sky? CAPITAL HOLIDAY is an Americanizing modern update of
the classic "Roman Holiday" as Janet Dailey entertains the
audience with her D.C. Holiday fluffy but fun story line.
Fans of romantic romps will relish this tale because the
lead couple seems like genuine individuals. However, with
the horrific terrorists' incidents the First Daughter's
actions now seem dangerous. Being from the Bronx, having
been to the Twins, and having a beloved cousin Marion
residing within a few blocks while not knowing how she is
doing, I know the fears and anguish. My prayers go out to
everyone. Harriet Klausner
