Summary
When Martha Dandridge Custis marries her second husband, George, she never suspects that the soft-spoken Virginia planter is destined to command the founding of a nation-or that she is to be “Lady Washington,” the woman at the first President’s side. Only a select inner circle of women will know the cost of sharing a beloved man with history … and each will draw strength from the unique treasure given to them by a doomed queen.
Seeing farm and family through each harsh New England sea…
