Washington : Character in Time : The US Presidents

by R. David Cox

The first American President is captured at his home in Mount Vernon the day he is to leave for New York to be inaugurated. He is beset by problems of his dress, his estate, his wife, his housekeeper and his "friend" and neighbor, Sally Fairfax. Washington attempts to deal with a relationship that is a touch more than "neighborly" and in the process reveals himself as not only a passionate man but a thoughtful and insightful leader and conciliator.
