- A review from Lady Librarian: The world needs to be better acquainted with Meg Powers.
- A review from cornerbooks: Reading Long May She Reign was like catching up with an old friend.
- A review from The Ya Ya Yas: Long May She Reign is a character study you can really sink into, a smart book that respects readers’ intelligence and that of its characters.
- A review from Tandem Insights: This is a book about a college-age girl, so there is swearing, drinking, and a spot or two of making out, but it all is seamlessly part of the enthralling glimpse into a very complicated, very real life readers will get from Long May She Reign.

Long May She Reign will not be released until October 30, 2007, but you can pre-order it at amazon now.
Meg Powers is the daughter of the President of the United States. She’s about to enter her first year of college. She’s living through the worst year of her life. In June, Meg was kidnapped by terrorists—brutalized, starved, and left for dead. She was shackled in a deserted mine shaft and had to smash the bones in her own hand to escape.
Meg Powers survived the unthinkable, the stuff of nightmares. Her terrorist captor is still at large. But still, she must live each day. Ahead of her is the grueling physical therapy to heal her broken body, and the challenge of leaving the safety of the White House for her freshman year at college.
But harder still than the physical and social challenges ahead are her shattered sense of self and her family. Will she ever forgive her mother, the President, for her “can not, have not, and will not negotiate with terrorists†stance—even when it came to her own daughter? And more difficult still, can Meg forgive herself for having the strength, the intelligence, and the wit to survive?
In a brilliant tour de force, Ellen Emerson White tells her most ambitious and intense story about a most unlikely, but deeply affecting heroine.
