President Theodore Roosevelt famously said, \u201cI can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States \u2013 or I can control my daughter, Alice. I cannot possibly do both.\u201d

When her father, the PRESIDENT, told her she couldn\u2019t smoke \u201cunder his roof\u201d \u2013 she climbed on top of the WH to smoke on top of the roof! Full of tales of Alice\u2019s incredible wit and outspoken tendencies, author Shelley Mickle shows how Alice was both the Princess Diana and Jackie O\u2019 of her time.
