Twenty-something Sammy Joyce--hypochondriac, klutz, jumper-to-conclusions--is in the White House as a health-care advisor to the newly elected administration. Everything seems to be falling into place for her. However, soon after taking office, the administration finds itself deep in a red-hot scandal. President Wye's old problem with the bottle re-emerges. An informant within the administration begins leaking damaging information. On top of it all, a secret deal with an Indian pharmaceutical company for an experimental drug unleashes a fury that threatens to shake the administration to its core. Sammy fights to distance herself from the turmoil that surrounds her personally and professionally, but just when she needs boyfriend Charlie more than ever, he gets promoted and moves to New York. Can she hold her ground when her relationships, ideals, and most importantly, her ability to trust are all coming apart at the seams?--From publisher description.
