Susan Whitson, the former press secretary for first lady Laura Bush (and hence, the Bush twins) will also be on hand, acting as “a media escort.” Whitson has been intimately involved in the planning of and publicity for the book release and will be a friendly, familiar face for Jenna as the first daughter stops in 25 cities to promote the book over the next three months.

Jenna stops by Borders Books & Music in Annapolis at 2 p.m. Saturday.
