Washington has rules.
Dolley Madison has a guest list.
James Madison is the quiet genius behind a brand-new government-brilliant, anxious, and one awkward pause away from combusting in public. Dolley is charm with a spine: bright dresses, sharper instincts, and a talent for turning tense rooms into places where people actually talk.
Their marriage becomes the republic's secret advantage. He drafts the framework. She builds the human network-salons, seating charts, and ice-cream diplomacy that disarms rivals faster than any speech. But when James starts leaning on her shine like it's a fix-all, Dolley draws the line: she's not wallpaper. She's working.
Then war comes to their doorstep. As Washington panics and the White House burns, Dolley's sunshine reveals steel-and James must decide whether he'll protect his public image or honor the partner who's been holding the country together one conversation at a time.
Dear Dolley, Please Save the Republic is a witty, tender historical rom-com about the shy man who wrote the rules and the woman who rewrote the room.
