The book tells the story of Sarah Churchill (daughter of Winston Churchill), Anna Roosevelt (daughter of Franklin Delano Roosevelt), and Kathleen Harriman (daughter of W. Averell Harriman) — all of whom accompanied their fathers to the Yalta Conference, where they had roles that were unofficial but nonetheless important.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
