Synopses & Reviews
Married for nearly 35 years and living in a house that has been standing for the better part of a century, Grace Alcott is the picture of quiet domesticity. But with her husband's premature retirement and their fortune dwindling, they are on the verge of losing their cherished family home. Now, as she secretly deals with a terrible illness, Grace must come to terms with the choices she's made and find the strength to salvage what she holds most dear. BEING MRS. ALCOTT captures the deep sorrows lying just beneath the surface of privilege--and poignantly portrays one woman's love for her fractured, but beloved, family.
