description: In this compelling memoir, Edna Gurewitsch illuminates the intense relationship between Eleanor Roosevelt and David Gurewitsch, the First Lady's physician, and the final years of one of the twentieth century's most exceptional women. Interweaving memories with never-before-published letters between Roosevelt and David Gurewitsch, excerpts from David Gurewitsch's diaries, and unpublished photographs, Kindred Souls offers a rare and intimate look into the lives of postwar America's most famous widow and her handsome European doctor eighteen years her junior. Chronicling their relationship from her unique vantage point of sharing a town house on Manhattan's Upper East Side with her husband and Roosevelt, Edna Gurewitsch gives us a vibrant portrait of our greatest First Lady in her diverse roles of mother, hostess, diplomat, and humanitarian.
