The Roosevelt I Knew


Book Description

A vivid and intimate portrait of the New Deal president by the first woman ever appointed to the U.S. Cabinet. When Frances Perkins first met Franklin D. Roosevelt at a dance in 1910, she was a young social worker and he was an attractive young man making a modest debut in state politics. Over the next thirty-five years, she watched his career unfold, becoming both a close family friend and a trusted political associate whose tenure as secretary of labor spanned his entire administration. FDR and his presidential policies continue to be widely discussed in the classroom and in the media, and The Roosevelt I Knew offers a unique window onto the man whose courage and pioneering reforms still resonate in the lives of Americans today.




We Bereaved (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from We Bereaved I have received many letters from people stricken with grief, and I have always felt poignantly my helplessness before their sorrow. My heart yearns to speak the word that would Soothe their anguish, but how futile are words in the ears of those who mourn. I can only take their hands in mine and pray that the love and sympathy in my heart may overflow into theirs. I too have loved and lost, I too must often fight hard to keep a steadfast faith. When I fall to hear the Divine Voice, grief overwhelms me, my faith wavers; but I must not let it go, for without faith there would be no light in all the world.
