Anne Easter Smith has expertly chronicled the lives and loves of the York branch of the Plantagenet family in A Rose for the Crown, Daughter of York, and The King’s Grace. In Queen by Right (On-sale May 10, 2011; Touchstone Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster; 978-1-4165-5-0471; $16.99/paperback), she transports readers back to the earlier years of the 15th century house of York, combining meticulous historical research, rich period detail, and a compelling female protagonist to tell the story of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, who would be mother to two kings and the ancestress of every English monarch to the present day.
