UN HOGAR PROPIO
En 1905, una mujer con el nombre de Eleanor se caso con su primo quinto, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Franklin se convertido en el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, y Eleanor gano el título de "primera dama del mundo".
Ella era modelo para las primeras damas que le siguieron. Donde quiera que fuera o lo que hiciera, ella añoraba su casa modesta con bosques y campitos. Esta tenía el nombre de "Val-Kill" y estaba ubicado en Hyde Park, Nueva York. Había dos edificios principales en la propiedad y una construcción campestre gris de dos pisos. Era un lugar evocador, y el primero sitio histórico dedicado a la memoria de una primera dama. Eleanor invito a dos amigas quedarse con ella en la propiedad. Fabricaban muebles ahí, y agasajaban a invitados. Cuando era posible, ella se refugiaba ahí. Ahí sentía que tenía su lugar propio.
Tal vez, este era un consuelo por un matrimonio conflictivo.
