My Dear Hamilton by Laura Kamoie, Stephanie Dray

5.0

Wow-what an undertaking to write this book. So much history to piece together and speculate on. I was riveted by Eliza and her life. Such an interesting woman almost hidden in our national history.

The book is beautifully written. I felt like I was there with Eliza living out each new adventure. The authors were very thoughtful in how Eliza might have felt and reacted to the constant drama in her life. I really don’t know how a person could handle so much and live as long as she did. I appreciated the author’s notes detailing the liberties they took.

As a side note: I don’t know if it’s a relief or a huge disappointment that our founding fathers were just as bad as current politicians. The manipulation makes me want to bury my head in the sand.
