After marrying Lord Randolph Spencer-Churchill, socialite Jennie Jerome (the future mother of Winston Churchill) is denied romantic affection, but finds a connection with Charles Kinsky, a foreign diplomat, sparking a complex but long-lasting relationship. While fictional, That Churchill Woman (Ballantine) references Jerome’s actual letters and intertwines itself with the actual narrative of the Churchill family.
