We will discuss Eleanor by David Michaelis. Download a copy from Wisconsin's Digital Library (Libby) of the ebook or audiobook. You can also stop by the second-floor Reference desk to check out a copy from the library. I look forward to discussing this title with you in the Yaz Room.
In the first single-volume cradle-to-grave portrait in six decades, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis delivers a stunning account of Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable life of transformation. An orphaned niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, she converted her Gilded Age childhood of denial and secrecy into an irreconcilable marriage with her ambitious fifth cousin Franklin. Despite their inability to make each other happy, Franklin Roosevelt transformed Eleanor from a settlement house volunteer on New York's Lower East Side into a matching partner in New York's most important power couple in a generation.
