Historical fiction. Based on the real life friendship between Teddy Roosevelt's daughter, Alice, and Booker T. Washington's daughter, Portia. The two met when attending an event and struck up a life-long friendship although very different in personality and beliefs. Neither had an easy life in the time of women being second class citizens. Resilient, strong women forging a friendship across racial barriers in a time that was not conducive to interracial interaction.
