While historical fiction isn’t the first genre I typically go for I do enjoy it a lot, and I especially love stories like that this that take a piece of history that is not typically focused on. I will admit I didn’t know Frances Perkins or all that she did to change …more America. While I knew we didn’t always have fair labor laws or social security I didn’t understand the work she went through to make them happen. I also will admit I didn’t know as much as I should have about Franklin Roosevelt. I thought the book was well written and the voice it gave Frances was very believable. I will say it’s a hard book to read because there are a lot of sad turns, but life is sad and to shy away from that is a bigger shame. I did think the story moved slowly at times and it was a long, but overall I greatly enjoyed it. 5 stars rounded up for helping educate me while I was also being entertained (less)
