Why read it?

1 author picked Affectionately, F.D.R. as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

James, the eldest Roosevelt son, gives readers a firsthand glimpse into growing up Roosevelt.

His heartwarming anecdotes add color to a world that seems black and white. One of the most endearing stories he shared came from the night Franklin won the presidency and humbly asked his son to pray for him. These memories provide an intimate glimpse of the man who was FDR.

From Alexandra's list on the Gilded World of the Roosevelts.
