Someone to Watch Over Me: A Portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt and the Tortured Father Who Shaped Her Life by Eric BurnsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
From my earliest memories, my parents spoke fondly of both President and Mrs. Roosevelt whom they both admired. I wanted to read this book because it speaks to the relationship between Eleanor and her father. The bond between them was unbreakable, though he died when Eleanor was still a child. So much heartache for both these souls, yet Eleanor channeled that into something profound, almost as the first steppingstone in becoming the great lady she was. I enjoyed this books so much. It made me cry, but it also made me smile.
