Back cover: This is Patti Davis, the daughter of President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan, and she has written an absorbing, touching, and candidly autobiographical novel.

It is the story of Beth Canfield, and her coming of age int he America of the late '60s and early '70s. It is the story of Beth's opposition to the war in Vietnam and her participation in college protests. It is the story of her conflict with her parents -- the mother against whom she rebels and the father who is the conservative governor of California with his eye on the White House...

Whether this is a thinly disguised biography of growing up Ronald & Nancy Reagan's daughter or if it's fiction, it's just a story of a young woman's rebellion against what she felt was wrong (the war, her parents). It's not deep. It's not a bad book and it brought back the days when I was in high school.
