Rachel to the Rescue - Paperback

by Elinor Lipman (Author)

"Readers who are hungry for heartwarming comedy and spicy D.C. gossip will find Lipman's new novel absolutely delicious."--New York Times Book Review

A mischievous political satire, with a delightful cast of characters, from one of America's funniest novelists.

Rachel Klein is sacked from her job at the White House after she sends an email criticizing Donald Trump. As she is escorted off the premises she is hit by a speeding car, driven by what the press will discreetly call "a personal friend of the President." Does that explain the flowers, the get-well wishes at a press briefing, the hush money offered by a lawyer at her hospital bedside? Rachel's recovery is soothed by comically doting parents, matchmaking room-mates, a new job as aide to a journalist whose books aim to defame the President, and unexpected love at the local wine store. But secrets leak, and Rachel's new-found happiness has to make room for more than a little chaos. Will she bring down the President? Or will he manage to do that all by himself?
