It explores the contrasting personalities of the four main protagonists with skill and insight and it is both convincing and refreshingly candid." -Brian Roberts, author of "Randolph: A Study of Churchill's Son and Cecil Rhodes and the Princess" "This book brings to life my grandmother and her royal friends. Reading it, I found myself reliving the times I shared with them. A wonderful story." -Nina Roosevelt Gibson, Ph.D., psychologist and granddaughter of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt
