Sweet Reads Book Club: The Confidante

From her position as New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unofficial advisor and “Mrs. Fix-It,” to her position as his assistant secretary of defense during World War II, Anna Marie Rosenberg held an enviable position as “the power behind” which allowed her to go to places that the president could not. Today, despite advising multiple presidents in the 1950s and 1960s, Rosenberg’s political influence and accomplishments are largely forgotten. Uncover the hidden history of her rise to public life and the impact of Rosenberg’s role and legacy in Christopher C. Gorham’s The Confidante.
