This is the story of a little-known figure in history, Lorena Alice Hickok, and her extraordinary friendship with the most famous woman of the 20th century, Eleanor Roosevelt. A child of the prairie states, Hick, as she was known to friends, was born into an emotionally and economically deprives family. It was through her own talent and determination that she rose to become one of he most eminent women journalists of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Hick first met Eleanor Roosevelt as a reporter. Their professional relationship turned into an intimate friendship when Mrs. Roosevelt became First Lady after the 1932 presidential election. Ms. Faber draws heavily upon a cache of letters between Hick and Eleanor -- 2,336 from E.R. to Hick; 1,024 from Hick to E.R. -- discovered in 1978, along with numerous interviews to write this fascinating biography.
