Book Description:
Near a white-sand beach on Cape Cod stands the beautiful home that Grace and Bainbridge Alcott have owned for decades--a time during which Grace has deferred her own opinions and dreams to try to be the perfect mother and the perfect "Mrs. Alcott." But with her husband’s premature retirement and their fortune dwindling, Bain’s solitary decision to put the house up for sale threatens to destroy the fabric of Grace’s life. Now, as she silently battles a terrible illness, Grace must find the courage to confront her husband and family, come to terms with the choices she has made, and salvage what she holds dear.

Anny P. (All her life, Grace Alcott has followed the proper path, a legacy of her impecccable New England upbringing. As an elite member of Beacon Hill society, she attended all the right schools, socialized with all the right people and married the right man.
Once again, Geary offers an eyeopening glimpse into the rarefied world inhabited by America's aristocracy. The story of a longtime wife and mother embarking on a journey to discover who she is, where she's been, and where she's going. BEING MRS. ALCOTT captures the pain and ineffable longing lying just beneath the glossy veneer of privilege...and reveals the enduring strength of a woman's love for her family.
