I enjoyed reading this book! It piqued my interest just a few paragraphs in. I think it would have been better for me to have read the first two books in the series instead ofstartingwith the third. I was a little lost with the characters' background stories.
Euphemia Duff was by far my favorite character. She's honest, forthright, and giving. She isn't afraid to credit the Lord for forgiving her sins. "The good Lord never treats us as our sins deserve." Sophie and Reinhold deserve credit for maturing and trying to change bad habits.
The only parts that made me uncomfortable were the "sexual" situations. There was no descriptive sex but there was a lot of passionate kissing and touching. It was a little over the top for Christian fiction. I will read the other books because I'm curious about Sophie's sisters.
I guess I was one of the few who thought it was overally sexual. Oh well. We all have opinions.
Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
