Craig Shirley brings to life America's first First Family in vivid detail, in this dazzling biography of George's colorful-and often difficult-mother. This riveting page-turner puts you at the center of one of the greatest Colonial family dramas-and you will see Washington and the forces that made him in a whole new light." - Monica Crowley, New York Times bestselling author and columnist for the Washington Times "To read this magnificent biography of America's First Mother is to understand the founding of our great nation from a fresh vantage point. Craig Shirley is at once a first-rate historian and a spellbinding writer. Mary Ball Washington is a major contribution to Colonial and early republic scholarship. Highly recommended!" - Douglas Brinkley, Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and professor of history at Rice University, and CNN's Presidential Historian "Craig Shirley brings the same appetite for fresh facts and original insights he applied to Ronald Reagan and Franklin Roosevelt to Mary Ball Washington, the mother-and prime shaper-of George Washington." - Michael Barone, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute "Craig Shirley has delivered a long-overdue, captivating book about the exceptional mother of the Father of our country." - Gay Hart Gaines, former Regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association "Written with verve, fairness and sympathetic imagination…it fills a long-standing void in our understanding of how George Washington evolved from an ambitious, largely self-educated young provincial who had trouble controlling his temper, into an inspiring, stoically self-disciplined leader of men." - Washington Times [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/16573723 [pa] => [subtitle] => The Untold Story of George Washington's Mother [publisher] => HarperCollins [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
