Six Tudor Queens: Catherine Parr, the Sixth Wife

A woman torn between love and duty. After the deaths of two husbands, a son, and a sick husband, Catherine was now free to make her own choices. The old king's eye fell on her. She could not refuse him... or reveal her desire for another husband. She became Henry's sixth wife—a trusted queen and friend. But Catherine harbored another secret in her heart, a deep-seated belief that might make her burn... Catherine Parr. Henry's last queen. Her story. Bestselling historian Alison Weir reveals a warm, intelligent woman of great courage, who bravely persevered at every turn in her life. Catherine Parr deserved better than to be known only as Henry VIII's sixth wife—the one who survived. And there is no one better equipped than Alison Weir to restore Catherine to her rightful place.
