Experience the captivating narrative of historical fiction writer Piper Huguley as she unveils her latest masterpiece, "American Daughters." Delve into the enthralling saga of the enduring friendship between Portia Washington and Alice Roosevelt, daughters of distinguished figures Booker T. Washington and Teddy Roosevelt.

Portia, guided by her father's legacy of uplifting Black Americans, faced obstacles in pursuing her passions due to a stifling marriage. Conversely, Alice, seeking her father's approval, championed progressive causes and women's rights, often challenging the status quo. United by their fathers' bond, these extraordinary women supported each other through life's trials and triumphs.
