Eleanor Roosevelt

A Life of Discovery

De: Russell Freedman

Narrado por: Barbara Caruso

Almost anything scares young Eleanor: mice, the dark, and a host of imaginary dangers. But she learns to hide her feelings - her father disapproves of fear, and she longs only to please him. She knows she will always disappoint her beautiful, socialite mother, because Eleanor is painfully shy and plain.

As a young debutante in Manhattan, she spends her days teaching needy children and touring crowded tenements. There, she makes a life-changing discovery that later enables her to redefine the role of America's first lady - being shy doesn't matter as long as she's helping others.

An outstanding book for an outstanding lady.

A great example of high-quality writing and story telling. Unlike other biographies of famous women connected to famous men, this book actually told the story of the life and many accomplishment of Eleanor Roosevelt without undo focus on her famous husband. I really enjoyed hearing the famous lady's quoted words. Highly recommend!

Excellant

An amazing person who makes you want to become a better person youself. Very well written and a quick listen
