520    "Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances 
       Perkins arrives in New York City at the turn of the 
       century, armed with her trusty parasol and an unyielding 
       determination to make a difference. When she's not working
       with children in the crowded tenements in Hell's Kitchen, 
       Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich 
       Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, 
       artists, and activists, including the millionaire 
       socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding 
       author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled 
       reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. 
       But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin 
       Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the 
       wrong directions. She thinks he's a rich, arrogant 
       dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous 
       name. He thinks she's a priggish bluestocking and 
       insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the
       next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership 
       that will carry them both to the White House. Frances is 
       destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, 
       facing down the Great Depression as FDR's most trusted 
       lieutenant-even as she struggles to balance the demands of
       a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when 
       vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies 
       threaten to derail her ambitions, she must decide what 
       she's willing to do-and what she's willing to sacrifice-to
       save a nation"--
