First Lady / Susan Elizabeth Phillips / 376 pages

Nealy Litchfield Case schemes to escape her life as First Lady if only for a few days.  After her husband is assassinated, she is pressured into staying on and serving as First Lady for her husband's successor.  She hate it!  Longing for freedom and an ordinary life, she disguises herself as a grey-haired older lady, and later as a pregnant one.  She catches a ride with ex-newspaperman Mathias Jorik and his 2 "daughters" after her car is stolen at a truck stop.  What follows is a heartwarming story and scenic trip along the less-travelled byways of America.
