Published in 1969, the book was more recently discovered by a Washington family descendant and reissued as \u003ci\u003eMount Vernon Love Story\u003c\/i\u003e. Dispelling the widespread belief that although George Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, he reserved his true love for Sally Carey Fairfax, his best friend's wife, Mary Higgins Clark describes the Washington marriage as one full of tenderness and passion, as a bond between two people who shared their lives--even the bitter hardship of a winter in Valley Forge--in every way. In this author's skilled hands, the history, the love, and the man come fully and dramatically alive.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Mary Higgins Clark wrote forty suspense novels, four collections of short stories, a his­torical novel, a memoir, and two children's books.
