Synopsis

Comedy writer and middle daughter of Al Gore, Kristin Gore has written a funny and moving debut novel about life on Capitol Hill as seen through the eyes of Samantha Joyce, a twenty-six year old health care analyst to Ohio Junior Senator Robert Gary. Hard working, idealistic, extremely competent as well as neurotic and prone to daydreaming, Sammy, as she's known to her friends, has little time for anything, much less a relationship. But in the midst of lobbying and late-night dinners at the office, she meets Aaron Driver, who is hot, smart, and sweet, and who, after a night of binge drinking at a bachelor party, proclaims his love for her. But how will Sammy balance her seventy-plus hour weeks with her budding romance, while keeping her best friend's slimy boyfriend from hitting on her, and making time for family, who insist her outfits match the centerpiece.

"SAMMY'S HILL is full of sly plot twists and big laughs, and every word rings true." (Matt Groening, THE SIMPSONS)

Hysterically funny and very clever! I loved the insider's view of working on the Hill and the kind of work that goes into a political campaign. I can't wait to read the next one!......more

Goodreads review by Bill on August 31, 2007

The debut novel of Kristin Gore (daughter of Al and, perhaps more significantly, former Harvard Lampoon staffer and ex-Futurama writer), Sammy's Hill could best be described as Primary Colors meets Sex and the City, with a little Bridget Jones sprinkled in for good measure. The story tells of the tr......more

Goodreads review by Keith on April 08, 2008

This novel dragged a bit from time to time. It is an adequately written coming of age story of a young woman, an only child, who seeks to find her own place in the world, apart from her parents, especially her baby-boomer mother. Sammy's passions as a woman contradict their parental virginal desire......more
