As the daughter of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Patti Davis is no stranger to being in the spotlight.
She was also born and raised in Los Angeles, and knows a thing or two about celebrity culture.
But the Los Angeles depicted in her latest novel (and 11th book) “The Earth Breaks in Colors,” features neither the glitz of Hollywood or existential angst typically associated with the City of Angels, it follows instead a quiet friendship between two 11-year-old girls – one black, one white – living in L.A., and what happens to that friendship after a major earthquake strikes.
Patti Davis joins Patt Morrison to talk about her book.
Guest:
Patti Davis, Author of numerous books, including “The Long Goodbye” (Plume, 2005), about losing her father, President Ronald Reagan, to Alzheimer’s, and her latest novel, "The Earth Breaks in Colors" (Open Road Distribution, 2015)
