The president's wife a novel
(Audiobook CD)

Compact discs.

Narrated by Libby McKnight.

Socialite Edith Bolling has been in no hurry to find a new husband since she was widowed, but the enchanted courting of President Woodrow Wilson wins Edith over, and she becomes the First Lady of the United States. Edith is soon indispensable to her husband's presidency. She replaces the staff that Woodrow finds distracting and discusses policy with him daily. But just as the critical fight to ratify the treaty to end World War I and create a League of Nations in order to prevent another is underway, Woodrow's always-delicate health takes a dramatic turn for the worse. In her determination to preserve both his progress and his reputation, Edith all but assumes the presidency herself. Now, Edith must contend with the demands of a tumultuous country, the secrets of Woodrow's true condition, and the potentially devastating consequences of her failure.
