Title: FDR and Lucy
Description: "FDR and Lucy is the first published account of the love affair between Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lucy Mercer Rutherford, his wife's secretary." "While the rest of America seemed to know about Franklin's infidelity, Eleanor declined to acknowledge the situation for four years until, in 1918, the truth became impossible to deny. Unable to divorce, FDR and Eleanor began a political marriage that would only fuel the first lady's groundbreaking activism. One part historical account and one part love story, FDR and Lucy is a biography of an affair, revealing a man in need of comfort and respite from the cares of the presidency and the critical eye of both wife and mother."--Jacket.
