True Courage by Kathryn Barrett

-

Today I have a tour with Rachel’s Random Resources for True Courage by Kathryn Barrett. I'm happy to help wrap up this amazing tour. Please check out the other tour hosts for their opinions about the book.


Some days it was hell being leader of the free world.

The Washington press calls him the “accidental president.” As a Medal of Honor recipient and national hero, Adam Dybik agreed to run for president during the country’s deepest crisis.

Now that things have stabilized, he’s got problems at home: his 14-year-old daughter Katie keeps ditching her Secret Service protection and reminding him he’s the world’s worst father. And on top of that, he’s begun hearing the voices of dead presidents. Either he’s going mad, or the White House is haunted.

As the new head of Katie’s Secret Service detail, Ellie Brody is trying to live up to the high expectations of her father, former agent Frank Brody. But her new job puts her in direct danger of succumbing to the president’s charm.

Can these two find love in the White House, under the most intense media scrutiny—and the watchful eye of Lyndon Johnson?

Review:

From the moment I picked up this book I was happy. From the blub, I knew I would enjoy this book about the President, secret service, and a single father trying to raise his teenage daughter and run a country at the same time. I love book tours because they introduce me to books and authors I would not have found otherwise. This is my first Kathryn Barrett book but I'll be adding the others to my TBR. The characters make you feel like you are in the story. You will want to set aside some time to read t his book as it is almost 400 pages but it is 400 pages you will enjoy!

About the Author:

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
