"Pick a good model and stay with it," Henry Ford once said. No, he
was not talking about cars; he was talking about marriage. Was
Clara Bryant Ford a "good model"? Her husband of fifty-nine years
seems to have thought so. He called her "The Believer," and indeed
Clara's unwavering support of Henry's pursuits and her patient
tolerance of the quirks and obsessions that accompanied her
husband's genius made it possible for him to change the world. In
telling the story of "Clara Ford", author Ford Bryan also charts
the course of the growing automobile industry and the life of the
enigmatic man at its helm. But the book's heart is Clara
herself-daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother; cook,
gardener, and dancer; modest philanthropist and quiet role model.
Clara is newly revealed in accounts and documents gleaned from
personal papers, oral histories, and archival material never made
public until now.
