This is one of my mother's books - she idealized Mrs Roosevelt - so I am looking for some insight. Having read 60+ pages, I see some resemblance already!

This quite a read. I learned more from this book thanI ever would have in a classroom - and I am not a history buff. But I have all of these books!

It dragged 'for me' at the end at the last convention Eleanor attended. Isn't that interesting - I found another time and another place much more fascinating than the time during the first 10 years of my own life and times!

I'm glad I read it. I will read some more - in fact, I already have some chosen and next to my chair!

I am mailing this to one of the Hens - who IS a history buff - I hope she makes notes inside it and send it on to someone else. We are turning into a regular round robin of reading now!

Enjoy!

Eleanor Roosevelt
“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”
