Normally I avoid historical fiction when the story is based on true events and persons, partly because I know the outcome and it cannot be changed. Of course I know some of the happenings and story of Martha Washington. This story hurt my heart, so much loss, children, family and friends. This book is dry in places and Martha, was a stoic, strong yet behind the facade, a caring, loving wife, mother and grandmother. Excellent read, well written with a bit of whimsy, add this to your TBR list.
