When political royalty moves to a small town, anything can happen. In Queens' Row, as Eisenhower struggles to keep a third world war at bay, a small town wrestles with changing expectations of motherhood, gender norms, and the bonds of love, family, and friendship. Queens' Row takes us back to June of 1960, at Gettysburg Country Club, where Professor Grace Gilmartin and her friends reign supreme over the latest gossip-from President Eisenhower's latest meeting with Nikita Khrushchev to the lifeguard's latest crush. The summer is shaping up to be like any other, until "Ike" announces that once his second term is up, he and his family will be moving to their sleepy little Pennsylvania town-whose only other claim to fame begins and ends with the Civil War. Gettysburg's glamourous new residents up the social ante, and whoever makes the cut for the famous family's inner circle quickly becomes the talk of the town. Against the backdrop of manicured golf courses, political intrigue, and powerful secrets, Grace and her friends are invited to dinner at the White House, where a die is cast that will turn their world upside down.
