My Boy Franklin Mrs. James Roosevelt 1933 First Ed. Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Description: My Boy FranklinRoosevelt, Mrs. James as told to Leighton, Isabel, and Forbush, GabriellePublished by Roy Long & Richard R. Smith, Inc, New York, 1933 Sara Ann Delano Roosevelt (September 21, 1854 - September 7, 1941) was the second wife of James Roosevelt I (from 1880), the mother of President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, her only child, and subsequently the mother-in-law of Eleanor Roosevelt. She gave birth to Franklin in 1882, and was a devoted mother to him for the remainder of her life, including home schooling and living close by in adulthood. She had a complex relationship with her daughter-in-law Eleanor, which has led to media portrayals of her as a domineering and fearsome mother-in-law, though these are at odds with other views. She died in 1941, with her son, then the President, at her side. She lived to see Franklin elected President of the United States three times, becoming the first Presidential mother to vote for her son. Sara continued to support her son's career, even standing in as First Lady on several occasions. She was always prepared to say something positive about her son, and remained highly protective of him and his family.
