In her small Wisconsin hometown, Alice Lindgren learns the virtues of politeness, but through a tragic accident, her identity at seventeen is shattered and alters the trajectory of her life. More than a decade later, when the charismatic son of a powerful Republican family sweeps her off her feet, she is surprised to find herself admitted into a world of privilege.

As her husband’s presidency enters its second term, Alice must confront contradictions years in the making and face questions nearly impossible to answer.
