Synopsis

'Sarah-Her Story' is a story of change and transition in America, and how they affected the life of one woman, Sarah Parker Rice Goodwin (1805-1896), a native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and wife of New Hampshire's Civil War governor.

Based on memoirs that she titled, 'Pleasant Memories,' her daily journals and other family correspondence, Sarah chronicles the many events, innovations and ideas that arose during her life and the impact they had on the city of Portsmouth during this pivotal period in American history. As the wife of the governor of New Hampshire at the outset of the Civil War, Sarah knew, hosted and commented on many of the prominent players on the world stage.
