Sammy's House

SAMMY’S HOUSE: Kristin Gore: Hyperion: Fiction: 384 pages

In this sequel to Sammy’s Hill, Samantha Joyce is working as a health care advisor for Vice President Gary in an administration that is struggling with outside opposition and internal vice. Meanwhile, Sammy’s boyfriend Charlie, a reporter for the Washington Post, has taken a promotion and moved to New York, creating difficulties for the couple.

I really enjoyed Sammy’s Hill, but Sammy’s House was less interesting to me. The politics seemed to overwhelm the story this time around, and I got bored of the Washington scene and slamming opposing political parties. Sammy Joyce is still an enjoyable character and the ending sets up the story for at least one more book.
