Book Club Thursday August 27 @1:30-2:45 Becoming Madam Secretary Stephanie Dray Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances Perkins arrives in New York City at the turn of the century, armed with her unyielding determination to make a difference. When she’s not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell’s Kitchen, she throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village, befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, flirtatious budding author Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom she falls deeply in love. When Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, she thinks he’s a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and his name. He thinks she’s an insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they form a historic partnership that brings them to the White House. Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing the Great Depression as FDR’s most trusted lieutenant while she struggles to balance demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. When vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten her ambitions, she decides what she’s willing to do—and willing to sacrifice—to save a nation.
