Trying, by Joanna McClelland Glass
The 1940s meet the 1960s when General Francis Biddle, attorney general to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, at age 81, is confronted with a new secretary who is all of 25 years old. Biddle is elegant but sharply cantankerous as he struggles with the inevitability of his age. This richly scripted story illustrates how two strangers, at two dramatically different places in their lives, can unexpectedly and forever influence each other."
