Mary Custis Lee was a woman of contrasts--a woman with a will of iron whose faith in God sustained her through years of separations from her husband, the deaths of two children, and the heartbreaking transformation of her magnificent estate into a military cemetary. Based on previously unpublished private journals and letters spanning half a century, "Mrs. Robert E. Lee" unveils the story of an articulate, passionate, and selfless patriot worthly of her heritage as the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington and consort to one of the most revered military leaders in American history.
