Publisher's summary

How does the most famous woman in the world hide in plain sight? The beautiful young widow of the president of the United States thought she was free of the White House, but circumstances have forced her back into the role of first lady. Not for long, however, because she's made up her mind to escape - if only for a few days - so she can live the life of an ordinary person. All she needs is the perfect disguise...and she's just found it.

An entire nation is searching for her, but the first lady is in the last place anybody would think to look: in the company of a man, an infuriatingly secretive and quietly seductive stranger whose charm, good looks, and sensuous appeal are awakening the forgotten woman within the dignitary. And with two adorable little orphaned girls in need of a family along for the ride, they're heading out across the heartland chasing their own American Dream - on a wild journey of love, adventure, and glorious rebirth.

First Lady: a star-spangled, richly emotional story of self-discovery, celebrity, love, and family.

LOVED IT!!

I love SEP’S writing!!! There is so much humor and love in every book. Neelie and Matt were so flawed but loveable! Great read!

Phenomenal journey

This in-depth story with interesting strong characters held me so tightly I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. I laughed and cried. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is an incredible story teller. This was the first book I have read by her and a whole new world is now open to me. I grew to love Nell, Matt, Lucy and Button and thoroughly enjoyed their journey.

So entertaining and fun.

This is one of her best books I’ve listened to yet. I laughed out loud through so many chapters! Left me with a big smile! I love how she writes the characters and their back and forth wit and murmurs. So great.

One of my favourite SEP books. Anna Fields is my favourite narrator. She is sorely missed ❤️

Love this book

A great story. You get a feel of how it must be to live under the scrutiny of the world, how little real privacy the presidential family has. Also a wonderful love story filled with humor. Anna Fields did a fabulous job recording this.

Great narration

As usual, the story was solid and kept my interest. I was tempted a time or two to skip ahead to see how things turned out, but luckily I didn’t. The extreme alpha male isn’t usually my favorite, but I considered the publication date of the book and decided I could accept it. The narration was fabulous and I am sorry she’s not here to narrate more books.
