註釋For nearly a quarter of a century Marion Dickerman was a close friend of one of America's most extraordinary households -- that of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. This memoir evokes those years in rich and intimate detail, recounting moments of triumph, heartbreak, anger and love among the Roosevelt's inner circle that the world outside has never glimpsed. As Eleanor's confidante, Miss Dickerman not only shared in many of her ventures but was privy to that great woman's troubled spirit and her struggle to reconcile the conflicting forces in her life -- her strong sense of obligation to support her husband unselfishly, and her equally strong determination to realize herself as an individual. As a family intimate, Miss Dickerman saw FDR at close range form his days as governor of New York until he died, during his fourth term as President. She became well acquainted with his moods and his complex, sometimes difficult personality. The accompanying photographs, candid snapshots and home-movie stills, were taken by Nancy Cook, another close friend of the Roosevelt family who figures prominently in Miss Dickerman's reminiscences. The photographs, like leaves from a family album, capture the private, unguarded moments of the famous Roosevelts and their friends with vivid poignancy. Most have never been published before.
