In spring 1939, Sara Delano, the mother of Franklin D. Roosevelt, asks his sixth cousin Margaret Suckley to visit the ill President at their Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park, New York. Although Daisy and Roosevelt had not seen each other for years, the distant relatives form a romantic relationship, and Roosevelt often asks Daisy to visit Hyde Park when he stays with his mother. Daisy becomes one of the several women close to Roosevelt, including Sara; Missy LeHand, the president's secretary; and Eleanor Roosevelt, the president's wife. Despite his power, the president is often unable to control the other women; the quiet, shy Daisy is his confidante, and he tells her that Top Cottage will be their shared refuge after his presidency.
