About the Book
“Barefoot at Val-kill” is the story of a little girl whose family just happened to live next door to Eleanor and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. People all over the world knew the President and his wife: their global interests, their acquired duties, their beliefs and goals. But did they ever see FDR drinking wine from an old fruit jar or Mrs. R. sneezing like crazy when she smelled the roses – and laughing about it?
About the Author
The author grew up in the newsroom of a daily newspaper. Day by day, for three decades, as a reporter/editor/reviewer, she explored the Hudson River Valley and talked to its people. Births to deaths; wild times and quiet pauses; sometimes laughter, sometimes tears; it all came together to teach one very import lesson. LISTEN!!! That’s what it’s all about.
