| Summary |
"Olivia Langdon was born into what became the richest family in Elmira, New York, in 1845, and was one of the first females in the country to attend college. But her life became extraordinary when she married Mark Twain in 1870, however, it was filled with tragedy. Through all of this, they maintained a close, loving, caring relationship"-- Provided by publisher |
