Blayne Cooper, the award-winning author of Cobb Island, Echoes from the Mist, and The Story of Me, has torn The Last Train Home, her touching, gritty new novel, from the pages of American history at the end of the nineteenth century. 
It might have been the Gilded Age for the likes of Rockefeller and Carnegie—but newly arrived immigrants and poverty-stricken Americans packed into Manhattan’s teeming Lower Eastside were lucky to make ends meet. 
In this tumultuous time, factory worker Virginia Chisholm hopes for more, but her dreams go up in smoke when a tenement blaze rips her family apart. Aided by Lindsay Killian, the street-wise, rail-riding drifter she meets in a charity hospital, Ginny follows the orphan train that has taken her siblings west. The desperate quest to reunite her family takes the young women from the slums of New York City to the farms of West Virginia and the bustling frontier beyond. This harrowing journey moves Ginny and Lindsay from one mishap and adventure to another. It also leads them from friendship to a tender and unexpected romance.

Devlyn Marlowe, the first woman President of the United States, has just been elected. Breaking with the tradition of hiring a political writer to chronicle her administration, President Marlowe selects one Lauren Strayer, a professional biographer with a reputation for absolute honesty. There’s a slight problem with Devlyn’s plan, though. Lauren wants nothing to do with what she sees as a political hack job.   It takes some serious persuading, but the Commander-in-Chief is an eloquent negotiator, and Lauren reluctantly agrees to take the job, provided she truly has editorial freedom. So armed with her computer, her incredibly ugly Pug, and a fair bit of trepidation, Lauren finds herself in residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.   There, amidst the harrowing and demanding life of the First Family, Lauren begins to understand and eventually love the complex woman who is both leader of a great nation and loving single parent to three rambunctious children.   Funny, realistic, romantic, and endearing, Madam President is rapidly becoming a modern classic.

But he is still the enemy, and Rebecca finds it difficult to come to terms with her feelings.
