Young George Washington was raised by a struggling single mother, demanded military promotions, caused an international incident, and never backed down - even when his dysentery got so bad he had to ride with a cushion on his saddle. But after he married Martha, everything changed. With irresistible style and warm humor, You Never Forget Your First combines rigorous research and lively storytelling that will have listeners - including those who thought presidential biographies were just for dads - inhaling every word.

Smearing American History
Revisado: 02-27-21
I purchased this book excepting it to be about story of founding father Washington, yet I was disappointed by the content.
What the author did was to collect and arrange together some random stories that involve women in the life of Washington ; His mother, his wife and a few other random female characters. This is a joke. No one is interested in those characters, specially if the role is very minor , even if it’s stretched to the maximum. Another aspect of the book is sympathizing with the slaves and work conditions in the plantations. These conditions were not specific for plantions that Washington owned , rather it was general conditions in the United States and other parts of the world at this time in history of humanity. The author is just a biased feminist writer without historic accuracy and she doesn’t have the right tools to write about Washington.
Definitely wouldn’t recommend, waste of time and money.

A long list of disjointed rules. Very basic.

Don't get discouraged by other reviews

I don't usually write reviews but this book is an exception. It is actually a good book full of tips about the right way to handle yourself around people. Some content is common sense but is really well written and demonstrated. I liked section about wedding etiquette and planning and found it very beneficial.
