The President's Lady

The President's Lady: A Novel about Rachel and Andrew Jackson This is one of the great love stories of our country. I enjoyed reading it just as much this time as I did many years ago. I was so happy to get this for my collection.

LOVED this book

Had already read "The Origin" and loved it so gave this a try. Fantastic. Also, was visiting Nashville when I started it (didn't even know this is where they were from at the time) and got to visit the Hermitage while reading it. Really brought things to life. A great read!

A great way to present history

Reading history can be challenging. But Irving Stone makes reading history a delightfull and entertaining experience. This book is very well researched and presents an in depth portrait of an enduring love affair. A must read for students of American history and a delight for all.
