Much is made, especially here in the South, of Robert E. Lee, but very little has been written about his wife Mary Custis Lee. She was also the great-granddaughter of George Washington. John Perry's new book, Lady of Arlington digs deep into historical sources to construct a rich portrait of this woman.

There will be a reception and signing at 5 p.m. and a reading at 5:30.
