Martha Dandridge Custis is a wealthy young widow with children when she marries George Washington. Their partnership carries her from Mount Vernon through the disruptions of revolution, where she repeatedly joins the Continental Army’s winter camps and manages the private responsibilities created by her husband’s public command.
Independence brings no simple retirement. Washington’s election makes Martha the first presidential wife, a role without precedent and one she accepts despite preferring domestic life. The novel presents national history through bereavement, marriage, household management and divided family loyalties. Faith and mutual commitment sustain a relationship repeatedly subordinated to military and political duty.
