ABOUT THE BOOK


It has been said that without George Washington there would be no United States. But without Martha, there would be no George Washington. He called her "my other self."

Who was this woman who captured the heart of our country's founder? She dreams of a quiet life with her beloved George, but war looms...

Though still a young woman, Martha Dandridge Custis was a wealthy, attractive widow and the mother of two small children with no desire to remarry. But when a striking war hero steps into her life, she realizes that she is ready to love again. She is courted by, then marries the French and Indian War hero.

Yet she wonders whether this man, accustomed to courageous military exploits, can settle down to a simple life of farming and being a father to her children. Even as she longs for domestic bliss, Martha soon realizes she will have to risk everything dear to her and find the courage to get behind a dream much larger than her own.

Her new life as Martha Washington took her through blissful times at Mount Vernon, family tragedies, six years of her husband's absence during the Revolutionary War, and her position as a reluctant First Lady.

Known for moving first-person novels of Nannerl Mozart and Jane Austen, in Washington's Lady, Nancy Moser now brings to life the loves and trials of the First First Lady of the United States.

     Washington's Lady is a wonderfully inspiring and thought provoking book.  I am not usually a reader that enjoys historical fiction, but this is one that I couldn't put down.  Ms. Moser does a wonderful job of revealing Martha Washington to be the fine, self-less, elegant woman I never knew she was.  The story line weaves together the facts of the past with the emotions of the time in a way that truly captures the heart of the readers.

     One of my favorite aspects of this book is the constant reminder of the faith, love, and courage on which our country was founded.  Although I have read about the events of the past before, I have never come so close to truly understanding the circumstances that drew our nations first president into believing that that small group of independent states could become the magnificent country we live in today.  This is one that I will suggest again and again- it's a must read!!  Bravo Ms. Moser.
