“This timely book, coming in our current era of political dynasties, creates a fantastic historical 'what if?' I'm a huge admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt, and this book had me rooting for her through every plot-twisting, page-turning minute.”
Kitty Kelley, author, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty

Eleanor vs. Ike is a terrific political yarn, full of intrigue, excitement and suspense. Eleanor Roosevelt was an extraordinary, inspirational figure in American history -- and the very plausibility of her candidacy is what kept me turning the pages to see if she would beat Eisenhower!”
Congressman Steny Hoyer, Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives

Dee Dee Myers, former White House Press Secretary
