Martha Washington

An American Life

By: Patricia Brady

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

With this revelatory and painstakingly researched book, Martha Washington, the invisible woman of American history, at last gets the biography she deserves. In place of the domestic frump of popular imagination, Patricia Brady resurrects the wealthy, attractive, and vivacious young widow who captivated the youthful George Washington. Here are the able landowner, the indomitable patriot (who faithfully joined her husband each winter at Valley Forge), the shrewd diplomat, and emotional mainstay. And even as it brings Martha Washington into sharper and more accurate focus, this sterling life sheds light on her marriage, her society, and the precedents she established for future First Ladies.

I truly enjoyed this book about our First Lady. Well written and narrated. It kept my attention and took me into the lives of George Washington and his lady. I highly recommend.

Learning about America’s First Lady and how she adored and supported her husband .

I love learning about colonial life and how people survived the hardships and struggles of day to day life.

Stick with it!

I like the content of the book. it was hard to get into at first because of all the detailed background information about family information. The narration however seemed a bit choppy at times and not quite clear. I would still suggest this book for history lovers.
