All American Patriotism is a literary home-cooked meal for the American soul

With the conclusion of Memorial Day weekend, the summer season is upon us, and nothing says summer in the United States like a good old-fashioned family road trip. This summer is particularly noteworthy for it is the nation’s semiquincentennial, celebrating 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This year promises to be a delightful and patriotic summer, and there might not be a better book to enjoy this year’s summer patriotism than Fox News Books’ All American Patriotism by Rachel Campos-Duffy, host of Fox News’s Fox & Friends Weekend.

It is a thoroughly charming novel that beams with patriotism from cover to cover. However, what sets it apart from other books is that this patriotism embodies a breathtaking sense of verisimilitude about being a family in the U.S. in the 20th century and carrying on those traditions in the 21st.
