April at Rush Hour is the story of the Vice President’s wife who hides out in plain sight and the reporter who finds her. She teaches him what a news story really is and ultimately her quest to save herself saves him as well.

April Sloan never expected her husband’s political rise to land her in the suffocating role of Second Lady. Brilliant, moody, and hounded by the spotlight, the Vice President’s wife slips into Washington’s sluglines commuter system for some needed peace and anonymity, driving strangers through morning rush-hour traffic with only her treasured Secret Service agent for cover. But when a disgraced newspaper reporter uncovers her double life, he strikes a complicated bargain: he’ll keep her secret in exchange for bigger stories—stories that lead them to a missing intern, a simmering White House scandal, and a mysterious “Oracle” in a blue Pinto who seems to know the future.

April at Rush Hour is a story about fame, journalism, and self-discovery with a mysterious figure who can help you see the Eiffel Tower in the heart of Washington if you just look. In the end, the real story is not always in the headline.
