Jacquetta, Duchess of Bedford, Elizabeth Woodville, and Margaret Beaufort are the three women that this book focuses on. Elizabeth Woodville, daughter of Jacquetta, married Edward IV. Margaret's son, Henry VII, was hell bent on taking the English throne. Eventually, he married Elizabeth of York, a daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, in an effort to create a peace treaty and ensure that both families would still be part of the English throne. 

I was really excited for this book, because I enjoyed the Tudor/Plantagenet series that this author wrote. I'm not usually into fiction, or historical fiction, but I thoroughly enjoyed that series. I thought this book would be very wonderful and in depth, because you can tell the author did her research for the series, and I was not disappointed in that respect. The reading went a lot slower in this nonfiction book than it did in the series, but that was something that I had expected before even opening to the first page. I had no real issues with this book, even though I was familiar with most of the material. I am glad to get this book out of my to be read stack and finished.
