The engineer's wife [large print] / Tracey Enerson Wood.

Summary:

Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally--she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained, she nevertheless assumes his position with his guidance, despite resistance and overwhelming obstacles. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building--hers or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge is finally completed, will she recognize the woman who built it?
