"Born into upper-class America in the same year, 1854, Sara Delano (mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt) and Jennie Jerome (mother of Winston Churchill) concentrated their energies on enabling their sons to reach the epicentre of political power on two continents. Set against one hundred years of history, historian Charlotte Gray argues that Jennie and Sara are too often presented as lesser figures in the backdrop of history rather than as two remarkable individuals who were key in shaping the characters of the sons who adored them and in preparing them for leadership on the world stage."--Provided by the publisher.
