FIRST LADY TO JAMES MONROE // #5
“La Belle Américaine”
Well-educated, poised and stunning, charming
In constant pain from a chronic illness
Met her husband when he was best man at Elbridge Gerry’s wedding
Very stylish, unlike her husband
Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
