SAMMY'S HOUSE

This sequel to SAMMY'S HILL (currently in movie development) isn't quite as madcap as the original but still provides laugh-out-loud predicaments for its heroine. Samantha (Sammy) Joyce's boss is now vice president of the nation, and her job as his health care advisor puts new demands on her slightly goofy personality. Kirsten Potter voices Sammy with an ideal blend of cool professionalism and wacky neuroticism. As portrayed by Potter, Sammy's zany inner monologues are sharply funny, especially when she's struggling with a potential White House scandal and the uncertainties of a long-distance relationship. As the daughter of a certain well-known Gore, the author may be providing insight into the workings of the White House. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
