Sample Book Insights:

#1 When Franklin Roosevelt was nominated for president in 1932, some doubted whether he had the strength to lead the country out of the worst economic depression in its history. But his physical courage buoyed his worried listeners, and he enjoyed himself on the campaign trail.

#2 Eleanor Roosevelt was not involved in the political discussions that took place around her husband, Franklin. She was a passionate supporter of his, but she did not share his excitement about the presidential run.

#3 The only female reporter on the Roosevelt Special was Lorena Hickok, and she was furious that John Boettiger, an inexperienced reporter, was given special treatment. She complained to Eleanor Roosevelt about it, and Eleanor invited her to come along too.

#4 Eleanor and Hick’s friendship grew as they traveled together on the train. Eleanor was always looking out for others who had suffered and struggled, and she began to suspect that there was a tender-hearted and sometimes shy underneath Hick.
