In NOVELS INCLUDING _I Am Abraham, Johnny One-Eye, The Secret Life of
Emily Dickinson_ and others, CHARYN HAS BRILLIANTLY COMBINED HISTORY,
biography, and a mischievous imagination to retell the lives of
statesmen, spies, and writers. His new book channels the voice of
Theodore ROOSEVELT, who recounts his experiences from his sickly
childhood through his crime-fighting years as New York City Police
Commissioner, his resignation as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and
formation of the First U.S. Volunteer Calvary Regiment—aka The Rough
Riders—to his career in national politics. Undeniably the star of
his own dramatic life, ROOSEVELT IS JOINED BY MEMORABLE CHARACTERS
SUCH AS HIS HANDICAPPED OLDER SISTER, his niece, his follow Rough
Riders, and a mountain lion named Josephine.
