Kristin Gore at the 2007  Texas Book Festival

Kristin Gore


In Kristin Gore's second novel, Sammy's House, the sequel to Sammy's Hill, readers are reunited with Sammy Joyce, the health-care advisor to the newly elected White House administration. Though still clumsy and paranoid as ever, everything in her life seems to be falling into place: she's got a great job, her best friend as her roommate, and a new romance. Then scandal rocks the White House and Sammy's new boyfriend gets a promotion and moves away, throwing her life into chaos. As the daughter of former Vice-President Al Gore, Kristin Gore knows a thing or two about the inner workings of Washington, and in a novel BookPage calls "a hilarious and suspenseful six-month romp through the nation's capital," she provides readers with a witty perspective on political life.
