First Lady: A Bittersweet Legacy

From the back cover: Jenny Jensen, the first lady Governor of New Mexico, is a woman who seems to have it all. Power, beauty, wealth and a devoted husband. But her success and independence have come at a price, and the gold locket she wears is a constant reminder of the past. The locket holds the key to four generations of women: Lilla, her great grandmother, who wanted more out of life than marriage and children; Nora, her grandmother, a woman who found love but could never understand her daughter's dreams; and Esther, Jenny's restless passionate mother, whose all-consuming ambition fueled her destiny. Sweeping from the tumult of pioneer America to the glitter and danger of the roaring twenties, then on to the elegance of Europe and the thrill of Africa, First Lady takes a compleeling journey to the crossroads of a lifetime.
