I did a book report a while back:<BR/>http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2007/06/book-reportthe-private-passion-of.html<BR/><BR/>in which I asked for suggestions of biographies of her. I heard via email from a friend about one called America's Queen by Sarah Bradford, which I bought (but haven't read yet). I'll add this one to my shopping list. She was a fascinating woman, and I'm just glad for her she died before her son. You might like the one I read, especially if you like horses! It was a fascinating concept. <BR/><BR/> I'd love to know the other books your group read, Heather.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-86599595328942007062008-10-13T13:17:00.000-04:002008-10-13T13:17:00.000-04:00Sounds like a fun meeting!
