"Sammy's House," by Kristin Gore
Author Kristin Gore is no stranger to politics.
The middle daughter of former Vice President Al Gore grew up in Washington.
So, it's no surprise her new novel, "Sammy's House," takes readers behind the scenes in the West Wing of the White House, with a humorous slant.
Gore, 30, writes of Sammy Joyce, the health care adviser to the vice president. Readers first met her in Gore's first book, "Sammy's Hill."
Sammy is riddled with idiosyncrasies. For starters, this health care expert is — a hypochondriac! She also loves talking to telemarketers, and celebrates odd anniversaries, such as "the 29th anniversary of the finale of 'The Partridge Family."
On The Early Show, Gore told how being raised in Washington helped with the writing of the two books. She gave some insight into her writing life, and advice for young authors. She also explained why she likes writing comedy.
