Kindred souls

For fifteen years, Eleanor Roosevelt and her handsome doctor, David Gurewitsch, were friends--traveling, entertaining, and eventually buying a townhouse together in Manhattan. Their friendship has always intrigued historians, but not much was known about it. David kept detailed journals and took thousands of photos, but he never publicly discussed their time together. Then, in 2003, the woman who had married into this complicated relationship, Edna Gurewitsch, opened up, revealing their story--and hers--for the first time. Filled with the author's own memories and observations and a selection of passionate letters from Mrs. Roosevelt, her book also gives a fresh insider's look at the influence the former first lady continued to wield on world events long after the death of her husband. Kindred Souls is a unique, intimate look at three friends and their extraordinary lives.
