Summary: "Inspired by hundreds of letters, witness accounts, and journal entries from the eighteenth century, Dear George, Dear Mary explores George Washington's relationship with his first love, Mary Eliza Philipse, the richest belle in America. Prepare to be swept away into the 1700s, from breathtaking scenes of New York's polite society to battlefield victories in Harlem and beyond. Dramatic portraits unveil a Washington on the precipice of greatness, and also a writer of romantic poetry and a fine dancer. His ravishing love is New York heiress Mary Eliza Philipse, whose beauty and refinement disguise a deep and complex inner struggle. Through imaginative writing that moves swiftly from society balls to bloody battlefields, this novel opens up George Washington's inner life. Washington's actual words reveal more than historians have focused on before, including why he may have had such bitter resentment toward the British two decades before the colonies revolted."--
