This book examines the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt through the lens of his personal relationships with women, arguing that this approach allows a more intimate, more human Roosevelt to emerge. It pays particular attention to his romantic affair with Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, but also discusses the other women in his life, including wife Eleanor of course. Eleanor and her intimate relationships also play a prominent role in the narrative.
