White Houses, a triumph of historical fiction from author Amy Bloom, tells the story of the unexpected affair between Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena “Hick” Hickok, who meets the future first lady in 1932 while reporting on Franklin Roosevelt’s first presidential campaign. As their connection deepens into intimacy, “Hick” moves into the White House, where her status as “first friend” is an open secret, as are FDR’s own lovers. Additionally, “Hick” comes to know Franklin not only as a great president but as a complicated rival and an irresistible friend. Amy Bloom is a National Book Award finalist, a National Book Critics Circle Award nominee, and author of the New York Times bestselling novels Away and Lucky Us.
