Songbird: Featuring the normally-endowed, super liberal cinnamon roll hero you've been waiting for.
Christine Sullivan isn’t an easy person to love. She knows how the world sees her – aloof, standoffish, cold…perhaps even bitchy. After a lifetime in politics, including a stint with an expat government in exile, President Sullivan has taken her share of body blows, but now she’s back in Philadelphia…a widow, a recovering Republican, a former public servant seeking a quiet, private existence.
On her to-do list - rebuild her relationship with her estranged daughter and invent the rest of her life. She has her best friend Caroline, her brand spanking new condo, and her ever frustrating Secret Service detail to keep her company. That should be enough for anyone, right?
Until Alexander Guardiola comes along… liberal, emotionally unguarded, younger. A lot younger. Everything Christine isn't. And isn't ready for.
But opposites attract, don't they? And hearts and minds can always be changed…

“Speaking of cute animals, Jack, Chrissy is a cougar now.”
That woman could change etymological course unlike anyone I’d ever met. “You’ve sometimes asked why I don’t come over more often,” I said. “This is why I don’t come over more often. Do you really have to call me that?”
“I’m reclaiming the language,” Caroline said. “It’s a ghastly term loaded with unnecessary shame and all sorts of damaging stereotypes about older women and their sexuality but by the same token, it makes for a perfect transition to a new topic.”
“There’s no comparable term for men,” I pointed out.
Caroline cocked her head toward her husband. “I’m not even touching that one.”
“Yes, yes. We all know about my past dalliances and how women have been oppressed for centuries. I see no need to discuss the connotation of troubling terminology any further,” Jack said.
“He’s been learning,” Caroline said. “I gave him some books.”
