It is an informative, entertaining and richly detailed depiction of the love affair that Franklin D. Roosevelt had with Eleanor's social secretary Lucy Mercer.

The last face Franklin Delano Roosevelt saw before he died was that of Lucy Mercer Rutherford, his mistress of thirty-one years.
Although Eleanor, his children, and the press eventually knew about Lucy, the American public would not hear of her until 1966.
Illuminating a critical era in American history, Willis also explores why the press dared not report the affair and suggests that Eleanor's discovery of Lucy in 1918 marked the end of the Roosevelt's personal marriage and the beginning of their political marriage—and Eleanor's groundbreaking activism.

 TWM - Just the Facts/ Art Levine
- Ever since last week's disclosure of wheelchair-bound President Roosevelt's dalliance with social secretary Lucy Mercer, the President has been seeking to keep the country's attention on the mounting threat to America's overseas allies.
Even though it was a Sunday, the crippled President, wearing his customary smoking jacket and sporting his jaunty cigarette holder, was wheeled into the Oval Office for a series of photo ops and meetings that sent a clear message: The President of the United States is hard at work protecting our interests.
But the question in Washington now is whether a President who is crippled both physically and politically has the capital needed to wage war against Japan.

Told from Rutherford's viewpoint, the story traces their affair from when she is initially hired as Eleanor's personal secretary in the days before World War I and ends on Rutherford's deathbed in 1948.
With Lucy, Rutherford has created a Whartonesque heroine: an intelligent and perceptive woman stymied by the social restrictions of her time.
Eleanor serves as a peripheral character, emerging as a woman driven by her convictions and her need to right the unending wrongs of the world, while Roosevelt is a charismatic figure who is unsure of why any obstacle--social mores, political opponents, or polio--should impede his desires.
