Nancy Moser does it again with her new historical novel Washington’s Lady. Moser with her detailed historical research and creativity re-creates Martha Washington. Throughout history I have known very little about Mrs. Washington. This book provides insight and depth to George and Martha, commonly known as the United States’ First Couple. Martha Dandridge Custis, was a wealthy woman who was recently widowed with two small children when she first met George Washington. Throughout her life she was faced with death, tragedy, six years absence of her husband during the Revolutionary War, then reluctantly became the First Lady. At the end of the book Moser gives a Fact-or-Fiction account which shows the historical details woven into this enjoyable book. Washington’s Lady will give you a stronger desire to know more personally the woman who became the United States First Lady.
