<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"From courtship to death, the unlikely love story between Dolley and James Madison evidences that historical truth is often more engaging than fiction. James, the Father of the Constitution, and Dolley, America's "first, First Lady," combined their unique talents to lead the nation they loved safely through its tumultuous first generation, from the perilous War of 1812 into an unprecedented Era of Good Feelings. During their service, especially as Americans watched with horror when the British burned America's capital and the President's House, "The Madisons" were attacked viciously by their opponents, but always responded with equanimity, fearlessness, and fidelity to liberty and the constitutional rule of law. By facing adversity with unparalleled grace, they stand as a much-needed example of civility worthy of emulation in our times. Their love story, as captured in the pages of this book by a noted constitutional lawyer and historian, is riveting, heartwarming and faith-promoting"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Power couples aren't a modern phenomenon. The greatest American couple ever to have served America in a public capacity was the country's fourth president, James Madison, and his wife, who is considered to be our "first, First Lady," Dolley Madison.</p><p>In his heartwarming, lively, and accessible book<em> Dolley and James Madison: An Unlikely Love Story that Saved America</em>, Rodney K. Smith, who directs the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University, chronicles two remarkable and inspiring lives of service, a story that remains as relevant today as it was two centuries ago. Of note is Smith's emphasis on the significance of Dolley's role in the founding of the United States. Without her efforts to build civility in a time more tumultuous than our own, it is unlikely that we would have survived our first generation as a nation conceived in liberty, secured by the constitutional rule of law and liberty. </p>
