Favorite Book I've Ever Read!

There were to many moments to count where I found myself so admiring Marta Washington! I just love her! Not only for her relationship with George Washington, but everyone she meets. This book was so well written I feel like II know Martha personally. Wish there were more Martha's in this world.

Entertaining

I found this to be entertaining. The narrator is good. I never felt bored. And while I realize that it’s not intended to be a biography, things like saying that John Adams is from Pennsylvania in chapter 15 (I’m sure he’d be rolling in his grave) I DO find to be distracting. Thus,while entertaining, take it with a grain of salt.

Woman of Faith and Courage

Before listening to this audiobook, I knew very little about either our first president, George Washington, or his bride, Martha Washington. I learned more about the time period and family in this interesting account of their lives.

This novel is written from the perspective of Martha Washington, and the audio version has a narrator whose voice, inflections, and moderation are very well done, one that I could easily listen to.

I wasn’t aware of the tragedies faced by the Washington’s, more specifically Martha. Their faith in the Lord made a huge difference in how they went through each crisis. Martha was an amazing woman to be able to provide the support George Washington needed throughout the Revolutionary War and his presidency. The devastating conditions faced through the war were not detailed. I was surprised at how much Martha was able to help George and his troops. She was definitely a woman I would have liked to know and was very well portrayed in this novel. I highly recommend this to those who appreciate historical novels about people who made huge contributions to our country and how their relationship with the Lord helped them through the challenges they faced.

I’m so thankful that this book was brought into my life!

Not only is this book very well written, but it was so incredibly exciting to learn about George and Martha Washington in a way that I never could have just from history books! I now have a new appreciation for what they both did for our country! I’ll never forget this book!

Excellent Book!

Must read! The Washington's life was a difficult one but they loved each other dearly. I enjoyed how the author really brought these historical people to life and made them real. She showed how you can overcome obstacles and long separations and still be devoted to one another. Will listen to this book again and again.
