Too Close to the Sun, and More Great Reads

Too Close to the Sun TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN: GROWING UP IN THE SHADOW OF MY GRANDPARENTS, FRANKLIN AND ELEANOR, BY CURTIS ROOSEVELT

[Non-Fiction] What can it possibly be like to be the grandson of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt? Curtis, know to the press as Buzzie, moved into the White House with his sister, “Sistie,” when he was three years old. It must have been amazing to be so cocooned and protected from the real world. This is a loving look at that lifetime, and an affectionate narrative of two giants, larger than life, who were his grandparents. With two little girls living in the White House today, this glimpse into what it is all about is especially timely.
