Description The Paris Wife meets PBS\'s Victoria in this enthralling novel of the life and loves of one of history\'s most remarkable women: Winston Churchill\'s scandalous American mother, Jennie Jerome.
Breathing new life into Jennie\'s legacy and the glittering world over which she reigned, That Churchill Woman paints a portrait of the difficult--and sometimes impossible--balance among love, freedom, and ob.
Forced to decide where her heart truly belongs, Jennie risks everything--even her son--and disrupts lives, including her own, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Their affair only intensifies as Randolph Churchill\'s sanity frays, and Jennie--a Woman whose every move on the public stage is judged--must walk a tightrope between duty and desire.
Jennie is inescapably drawn to the brilliant and seductive Count Charles Kinsky--diplomat, skilled horse-racer, deeply passionate lover.
But as the family\'s influence soars, scandals explode and tragedy befalls the Churchills.
Artistically gifted and politically shrewd, she shapes her husband\'s rise in Parliament and her young son\'s difficult passage through boyhood.
Raised to think for herself and careless of English society rules, the new Lady Randolph Churchill quickly becomes a London sensation: adored by some, despised by others.
When the nineteen-year-old beauty agrees to marry the son of a duke she has known only three days, she\'s instantly swept up in a whirlwind of British politics and the breathless social climbing of the Marlborough House Set, the reckless men who surround Bertie, Prince of Wales.
But Jennie--reared in the luxury of Gilded Age Newport and the Paris of the Second Empire--lived an outrageously modern life all her own, filled with controversy, passion, tragedy, and triumph.
As Lady Randolph Churchill, she gave birth to a man who defined the twentieth century: her son Winston.
Wealthy, privileged, and fiercely independent New Yorker Jennie Jerome took Victorian England by storm when she landed on its shores.
