From the back cover: She's the wife of the fourth President of the United States, a spirited character who enjoys parties, the latest French fashions, and the tender, brilliant man who is her husband. But while many love her, few suspect how comples Dolley Madison really is.

Only in the pages of her diary - as imagined by novelist Rita Mae Brown - can Dolley reveal herself. And there we discover the real First Lady - impulsive, courageou, and wise - as she faces her harshest trial: in 1814, the United States is once again at war with mighty Britain, and her husband James is the most hated man in America.


This is a great read! I first read a biography of Dolley Madison when I was perhaps in 4th grade, and I've enjoyed several other books about her since then.
