The author came across as vain, stingy, and tho she claims to love her child, she seems more impressed that the child’s father is President Harding. The author shows herself to be immature, selfish, and far from frugal. Her money is spent on herself, not the daughter she claims to love. ( ) Could be labeled as a tell-all from 1927. Nan Britton claimed to have given birth to Warren G. Harding's love child in 1920. She received support from Senator/President Harding until his death. Nan nor his child was mentioned in his will. She tried to secure support for her child from the Harding family who provided nothing. Britton's book was a best seller, selling 90,000 copies in its first year.. It was interesting to note that while at the printers "six burley men" entered the printing shop and seized the "book" and all it's printing plates. Two months later under a court order, they returned the plates and the book was published. I do feel sorry for Nan, she was threatened and ridiculed by the Hardings and their prestigious friends. Sadly, more than 250 love letters from another Marion woman were found and were dated from 1909-1920. Harding was a womanizer. Nan died in the early 90's and her daughter, Elizabeth Ann, was a grandmother, but still no recognition from the Hardings. However, in 2015, a grand nephew of Warren G. Harding donated a DNA sample as did Elizabeth Ann's granddaughter, and it was a match--they were cousins, so Warren G. Harding was the father of Nan's daughter as there were only 2 Harding brothers. The Hardings have since shunned and kicked this nephew from the family! How silly in this day and age. Nan is not blameless in this sordid affair. She relentlessly pursued Harding from the time she was 17 years old. Several adult women talked to her about her shameless behavior concerning Senator Harding, but she totally disregarded them. To her credit, she was in love with Harding; but he probably not so much with her--she was a young diversion. This was a great read to me as I grew up in Marion, Ohio, home of Warren G. Harding and am familiar with the places mentioned and have heard the names of some of the people mentioned in the book. 398 pages sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The President's Daughter is the heart warming story of an innocent young girl who became pregnant and gave birth to a child whose father happened to be the President of the United States. No. This is not a tawdry fable. This is fact. The President was Warren G. Harding who then died suddenly. Some say he was murdered. Her book is great. In Chapter 18 she describes how on July 30, 1917 she finally lost her virginity to the future president after a long courtship, in a New York City hotel on 30th Street overlooking Broadway. Only moments after the intercourse had been completed, the New York City Vice Squad broke down the door. Harding was forced to identify himself. When the police realized that their target, Warren G. Harding, was a United States Senator (he was not yet president), the Vice Squad apologized and beat a hasty retreat. It was not before long that Nan Britton discovered that she was pregnant. Senator Harding set her up in a house in Asbury Park, New Jersey near a casino where he sometimes played poker, and he sent her money through messengers. She was able to keep her pregnancy and the subsequent birth to her of an illegitimate child a secret from everybody, except for her actual lover who was US Senator and then President Warren G. Harding. The child, Elizabeth Ann, was born on October 22, 1919, not in a hospital but in the same house in Asbury Park NJ where Nan Britton had been staying. The resulting book, The President's Daughter, has a story all its own. Bills were introduced in the United States Congress to stop the publication of this book or to make possession of it illegal. The New York City Vice Squad raided the printing plant and confiscated all the plates. No major, reputable book publisher would touch this book. All turned it down. Finally, the book was published. Naturally, as the book featured sex romps in the White House, it became a best seller. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
