Prides Crossing is a front-row seat for events that defined a century and rocked the settled world of masters and servants. This is the first complete account of the exceptional life and times of the inimitable Eleonora Sears. It is a story told with candor, insight, and compassion by the daughter of Eleo's business advisor and racing-stable manager. A wonderful romp with an extraordinary character! --Ben Bradlee, vice-president-at-large, The Washington Post Long before Billie Jean King, another strong-willed woman captivated Americans with a variety of sporting feats, from polo to tennis to long-distance hikes and beyond. She was a Boston Brahmin, Eleo Sears - the mercurial, devil-may-care, outrageous heroine of a fascinating tale. --Bud Collins, Boston Globe, ESPN |
