First Daughter

Sameera Righton (known as "Sparrow" to those close to her) is the adopted daughter of a Presidential candidate. She was born in another country, and her ethnic heritage becomes a hot issue in the campaign. She faces pressure to be "Americanized" but also to represent the culture of her birth.

This was fun, light, and enjoyable. While her father's campaign for President is the catalyst for the plot, it doesn't take the spotlight from Sparrow's story, which was good. Sparrow's situation is unique, but the problems and choices she deals with will be familiar to every reader.

3.5/5
