A riveting account of the power behind America's political throne for several decades, Iron Rose reveals the secrets behind the triumphs and tragedies of the renowned “Queen Mother of Camelot.” It chronicles her life—from a mayor's daughter in Boston and her marriage to the multimillionaire ambassador to Great Britain—to the birth of her children and becoming the mother of a president. Never before had there been such a world-famous matriarch—a constant pillar of strength, guided by her faith in both her family and her religion—a woman who had given so much and yet had so much taken away.
