Book Description
Martha Dandridge Custis was a wealthy, good-looking widow and the mother of two young children when, in 1759, she started a new life as Martha Washington. With one of its most recognizable names, Martha is American history's invisible woman. She burned her private correspondence after George's death, but with painstaking research, Patricia Brady has finally recovered the real person.

2/13/2010 Bruce Stacy said: An interesting biography on Martha. Brady humanizes George Washington while giving us greater insight into how influential she was in the founding of the new republic.
