DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP!
When the clubhouse fills with smoke, First Daughters Marissa and Clara escape to find themselves in James Madison’s presidency, with the White House and capital city ablaze at the hands of invading British troops. Pursued by the redcoats, the sisters race through the countryside as the War of 1812 rages all around them.
Over rough roads, through naval battles, and on the ramparts of Baltimore’s Fort McHenry—where they lend a hand composing “The Star-Spangled Banner”—Marissa and Clara help save a young nation while confronting the contradictions that challenge what it means to be free.
Funny, fast-paced, and filled with swashbuckling adventure, White House on Fire!continues vice presidential speechwriter and White House insider Sean O’Brien’s exciting series that “masterfully weaves together history, adventure, and purpose” (Ruby Shamir).
