Book Preview: #1 After a lifetime of being an accessory to men, Brooke Astor hungered for meaningful work and the chance to be valued on her own merits. She became a philanthropist and a social arbiter. Her ability to dispense millions made her popular and powerful.

#2 Mrs. Astor was very loyal to her inner circle, but she did have a habit of moving on, replacing dour faces with young and frisky newcomers. She was determined to have younger friends because she thought it was life-giving.

#3 The relationship between the women had changed over the past decade, as the preternaturally energetic Brooke began showing her age. Annette had become Brooke's defender and protector, attentive and thoughtful, ever eager to please.

#4 The New York Times treated Brooke Astor's birthdays with the civic reverence granted to holidays on which alternate-side-of-the-street parking is suspended. Every year, the event was commemorated with a story or a photograph.
