I needed a really good palate cleanse after two terrible books and I definitely got it with this book. Immediately when I started reading, I relaxed. Roosevelt's prose felt like a warm, comfortable blanket. I felt at home with her as she told her story even though her life contained so many amazing things that mine never will. As I kept reading, I had to smile at how consistently self-deprecating Roosevelt was of herself even as she masterfully made her way in the highest diplomatic echelons at the United Nations. I highly recommend this book and if I ever find a copy, I will snag it immediately.
