Chances are you - and your kids - know many of the lyrics to the songs featured in the Broadway musical, "Alexander Hamilton." But do you know the story?
My bet is that your kids are interested in Hamilton but find many of the books about him to be thick and complex.
Author Martha Brockenbrough has the answer: she's written a "young adult" biography of Hamilton. (Just between you and me: adults will love it, too.)
If you've ever wondered about the modern fascination with Hamilton, listen to this wide-ranging interview with Brockenbrough - he REALLY did live a fascinating - and flawed - life.
