Summary:
The beautiful young widow of the President of the United States, Cornelia Litchfield Case, has decided to take a break from the confines of the White House.  She decides to make a run for it for just a few days, taking on a perfect disguise.  However, when the most famous woman in the world goes missing, an entire nation joins in the search, but she manages to allude them.  How can she hide in plain sight? The last place anybody would think to look is in the company of a infuriatingly secretive and quietly stranger whose charm, good looks, and sensuous appeal are awakening the forgotten woman within the dignitary. Add to this  two adorable little orphaned girls in need of a family along for the ride, and we join them as they head out across the heartland on a wild journey of love, adventure, and glorious new beginning.
Evaluation:
I searched for a romantic, chick lit sort of book in Genreflecting and discovered much to my delight Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I selected this particular one as in reviewing it, I immediately liked the scenario.
Why I Would Include It: This is the type of contemporary romance and chick lit that would appeal to a wide range of women looking for this genre but not wanting anything too sensual.  It is just right.
