Edith Kermit Carow wuchs in New York City in den gleichen Kreisen auf wie Theodore Roosevelt. Doch erst nachdem TRs erste Frau im Alter von 22 Jahren starb, schmiedeten die Freunde der Kindheit eine der erfolgreichsten romantischen und politischen Partnerschaften der amerikanischen Geschichte. Sylvia Jukes Morris Zugang zu bisher unveröffentlichten Briefen und Tagebüchern erweckt ihr Porträt der Roosevelts und ihrer Zeit zum Leben. Während ihrer Jahre als First Lady (1901-09) blendete Edith Kermit Roosevelt das soziale und politische Washington als Gastgeberin, Vertraute und Mutter von sechs Kindern und führte ihren Ehemann zur Bemerkung: "Mrs. Roosevelt kommt meinem Ideal viel näher als ich es selbst tue."
