Porter Shreve is the author of the novel “When the White House Was Ours” (Mariner/Houghton Mifflin).
Jim Lehrer calls it “a tale of sheer delight, beautifully told in perfect pitch,” and Publishers Weekly writes, “Shreve’s third novel skillfully interweaves the story of teenager Daniel Truitt with that of the United States at a crossroads … The political backdrop is perfectly played, as is the bittersweet nostalgia that makes the book and its freewheeling gang irresistible.”
Shreve’s other books include the 2005 novel “Drives Like a Dream,” a Chicago Tribune Book of the Year, and the 2000 novel “The Obituary Writer,” a New York Times Notable Book.
