What if Abigail Adams, who was famously remembered as instructing John Adams, the second President, to "remember the ladies," what if she took it upon herself to create a secret society to make sure the "ladies" would have a voice in government?

That is the premise of this YA novel, set in the late 1920's. Cassie and her friends are members of this secret society. She has been chosen to someday become the wife of a powerful man. Others in the society become Mothers to powerful men, or Spinsters, who are actually warriors, or Gossips, who are spies. The society, through grooming young women for important, though background roles, has helped steer the country in a fairer, more moral direction.

The story revolves around the competition for the love of "Priority 1" a young man who has been chosen by the society to someday become President. Elsie is keen on winning this role, though she has the nagging feeling she'd rather be the President than be married to him.

Interesting premise. A few historical references. Fantastic cover art! ( )
