Book Synopsis
When Grace Anna Goodhue wed Calvin Coolidge in 1905, she thought then that marriage ""has seldom united two people of more vastly different temperaments and tastes."" Warm to her husband's dour and taciturn, Grace was to be a contrast to Calvin for years to come. This work shows how their marriage ensured her husband's rise to high office.

Trade Review
More than any other biographer, Ferrell demonstrates how important Grace Coolidge was to her husband's career. She emerges in this account not only as sympathetic but also as significant. A magnet for press coverage, she was sensitive, stylish, much beloved, and nobody's fool. David Greenberg, author of Calvin Coolidge ""Ferrell is a graceful stylist and a born storyteller. His Grace Coolidge would be a fascinating subject had she never been first lady - but as this wonderfully readable book makes clear, her husband was lucky, and her country luckier still, that she was."" Richard Norton Smith, author of An Uncommon Man: The Triumph of Herbert Hoover ""A story that will intrigue - and enlighten."" Betty Boyd Caroli, author of First Ladies
