Christine M Totten Author

Christine M. Totten is a retired Professor of Communications and former Press Officer at the University of Heidelberg. In 1949, the U.S. State Department invited her, along with other German intellectuals who had opposed the Nazi regime, to educate the German people in American customs and ideologies. Totten later became a Professor in Modern Languages at Clarion University of Pennsylvania, USA. She spent many years researching and writing the autobiography of Sara Delano Roosevelt – mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was that research that led Totten to look at the relationship between FDR and Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd, the subject of this book.
