Description
Jennie Jerome and Sara Delano: two remarkable women who shaped the lives of their sons, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Born into upper-class America in 1854, they defied convention to forge their own paths. Jennie's social manoeuvres in imperial London helped her mercurial husband and ambitious son, while Sara's guidance and financial support enabled her only child to become a successful politician. Their lives, though separate, were intertwined with those of their sons, who would go on to become prominent figures in world history. This book explores the lives of these two women, revealing the ways in which they took control of their destinies and prepared their sons for the world stage. Through their stories, we gain insight into the lives of two of America's most influential families, and the complex relationships that shaped their destinies.
