Book Review: I read mixed reviews on this book, but I LOVED it! I thought it was a wonderful story that really connected me with the country's First Lady. It was historically accurate, moving, and emotional. I was pulled into the story, sometimes frustrated with Martha, sometimes inspired by her. Being a soldier's wife on our first military separation, this was a read I really needed.Book Synopsis:
She dreams of a quiet life with her beloved George, but war looms... Though still a young woman, Martha Custis is a widow. But she is not without means and has no desire to remarry. Not, that is, until a striking war hero steps into her life and she realizes she is ready to love again. Yet she wonders whether this man, accustomed to courageous military exploits, can settle down to a simple life of farming and being a father to her children. Even as she longs for domestic bliss, Martha soon realizes she will have to risk everything dear to her and find the courage to get behind a dream much larger than her own. Known for moving first-person novels of Nannerl Mozart and Jane Austen, Nancy Moser now brings to life the loves and trials of the First First Lady of the United States.
