is introducing
Washington's Lady
(Bethany House)
by
Nancy Moser

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? Martha Dandridge Custis was a wealthy, attractive widow and the mother of two small children when she was courted by, then married to the French and Indian War hero. 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 portrayals of Nannerl Mozart and Jane Austen, Nancy Moser now brings to life the loves, tragedies, and accomplishments of Washington's Lady, the mother of the United States.

HEIDI SAYS: I absolutely LOVED this book!  I have to say that, in all the books I've reviewed in the recent past, THIS is my favorite!  It combines two of my favorites things~ fiction and history! 

I took this book along with me on my vacation and I could hardly put it down (ask my family!) I was intrigued with Martha Washington, and found that I actually have much in common with her.  Though she lived in a very different time and had a very different lifestyle, her thoughts and feelings were not that far-removed from many of my own. 

I believe this is the first of Nancy's books that I have read, but it definitely will not be the last!
