I will be SO excited to read a novel by you about Frances Perkins!!! Her story deserves to be more well known!
Interesting. I know nothing about her. I love your writing Stephanie, so I look forward to your next publication!
I don’t know anything about her but am looking forward to learning. Love your books!
I've read one not terribly good biography of Perkins that left me wanting for more. Looking forward to your spin on Perkins and the difficult personal life she led.
Francis Perkins was she not part of the Home Economics team re vitamins and better health for American families movement and worked with FDR during the New Deal programs?
I am ridiculously excited about this! I will pre-order as soon as it is available!
I was fortunate enough to be a pre-reader of this novel. And WOW! Thank you thank you thank you! It's one I'll never forget. Once again Stephanie Dray knocked it out of the park with her rich vivid and thoroughly engaging historical fiction writing skills. This particular book was not only fascinating it was incredibly educational. How is it that I've never heard of Frances Perkins? The first female to serve on a president's cabinet and not only that, but created the Social Security Act. Her work absolutely changed the way this country functions. I'm blown away by the details and the meticulous way Stephanie Dray can tell a story and put the reader right in it. I loved the journey from cradle to grave. The emotional thread throughout the piece, the relationships, the tension and pacing. All of it was spot on. I think this book should be required reading as an educational tool as well as encouragement for our younger generation of females who would benefit greatly to see the results of perseverance and determination through the fear, through the struggle, through all the odds.
