Reviews
Praise for If a Poem Could Live and Breathe "Another solid presidential love story. . . The authenticity of Theodore's feelings for Alice is made palpable in the magnetic narrative, and the inclusion of his love letters to Alice, some published for the very first time, is a nice touch. Historical fiction fans will be pleased." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Dear George, Dear Mary "Calvi's debut skillfully depicts the ill-fated love story of a promising 24-year-old colonel named George Washington and Mary Eliza Philipse, a...New York heiress, [in this] 'affecting' narrative." -- Publishers Weekly " Calvi's portrait of Washington as an earnest young man striving for success but beleaguered on every front is convincing and, in a way, endearing. It is also a fascinating and unique look at pre-Revolutionary War society, with its misunderstandings and simmering resentments, and notable for the author's use of contemporaneous documents." -- Booklist, Praise for If a Poem Could Live and Breathe "Another solid presidential love story. . .

Synopsis
A fact-based romantic speculative novel about Teddy Roosevelt's first love, by Mary Calvi, author of Dear George, Dear Mary. Studded with the real love letters between a young Theodore Roosevelt and Boston beauty Alice Lee--many of them never before published-- If a Poem Could Live and Breathe makes vivid what many historians believe to be the pivotal years that made the future president into the man of action that defined his political life, and cemented his legacy. Cambridge, 1878. The era of the Gilded Age. Alice Lee sets out to break from the norms of her mother's generation. Women are fighting for educational opportunities and exploring a new sense of intellectual and personal freedom. Native New Yorker, Harvard student Teddy Roosevelt, is on his own journey of discovery, and when they meet, unrelenting currents of love change the trajectory of his life forever. If a Poem Could Live and Breathe is an indelible portrait of the authenticity of first love, the heartache of loss, and how overcoming the worst of life's obstacles can push one to greatness never imagined.

- l***w (11)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseExcellent communication with top tier customer service. I was given an option of hardback or softback books to purchase and told exactly how long each one would take. Upon making my selection I was informed about what that particular type would entail, quality condition, and it was shipped almost right away. The package arrived in good shape, all of the books had all of their pages, exactly as promised. I am very thankful for a wonderful customer experience with this seller. 10/10.A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket Hard Cover Set 1-13 COMPLETE (#176559677544)
- a***9 (160)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMain set has arrived safely and sound. Per our conversation, the single from a 3rd source has not yet arrived. Items are as described, good condition, clean. Very happy with communication and quality. As per third photo, do you by any chance have The Black Stallion's Shadow and The Black Stallion's Steeple-Chaser? If so, I would be interested in acquiring those from you, also.
- e***j (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOne book was missing from my package and the seller overnighted the missing book to me. Fast service. There were some hardcover and softcover books mixed which was described in the description. The books were in good condition- some were a little worn. Buying the whole lot was about the same price as buying individually but it saved me time from looking at all the listings. I’d buy from this seller again.
