I went into this knowing very little about Marjorie Merriweather Post and feel like I learned a lot about her. However, it was challenging for me to discern what was fact and what was fiction in this book. I think that the issue comes with writing a historical fiction novel about a real person. This was a fun read as Marjorie's life encompassed so many historical events. I enjoyed this book but would only recommend it if you are willing to do a bit of side-googling.
Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC copy of this in exchange for my honest feedback.

I appreciate that this author focuses on strong women who face challenge after challenge and just keep fighting. They aren't perfect. And, yet, they are magnificent.

I read this after visiting Hillwood Estate and all I want to do is go back. Marjorie Merriweather Post is my absolute hero. This book just solidified that.
Enjoyable book that is easy to read and details the life of an amazing woman!
