ISBN:  9780593437056 (hardcover) 0593437055 (hardcover) Description:  519 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  9 Summary:  "Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances Perkins arrives in New York City at the turn of the century, armed with her trusty parasol and an unyielding determination to make a difference. When she's not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell's Kitchen, Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including the millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he's a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she's a priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down the Great Depression as FDR's most trusted lieutenant--even as she struggles to balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten to derail her ambitions, she must decide what she's willing to do--and what she's willing to sacrifice--to save a nation"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books Dray Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Dray Checked out 07/09/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Dray Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Dray Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Dray Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Dray Checked out 07/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Dray in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Fiction Dray Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
