Episode 36- Author Charlotte Gray on her book "Passionate Mother, Powerful Sons"

In this episode, I spoke with author Charlotte Gray on her book "Passionate Mother, Powerful Sons: The Lives of Jennie Jerome Churchill and Sara Delano Roosevelt".Born into upper-class America in the same year, 1854, Sara Delano (later to become the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt) and Jennie Jerome (later to become the mother of Winston Churchill) refused to settle into predictable, sheltered lives as little-known wives to prominent men. Instead, both women concentrated much of their energies on enabling their sons to reach the epicenter of political power on two continents.
