"Barbara Bush endures as one of America's most popular First Ladies. She has won worldwide acclaim for her wit, compassion, and candor as both a presidential wife and mother. In this #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, Mrs. Bush offers a heartfelt portrait of her life in and out of the White House, from her small-town schoolgirl days in Rye, New York, to her fateful union with George H.W. Bush, to her role as First Lady of the United States. Here, she writes candidly about: &#149; her early years with George Bush in West Texas&#149; the tragic death of her young daughter&#149; the world of Washington politics and the famous figures she's met&#149; her role as the nation's leading literacy champion&#149; her feelings about the Iran-Contra scandal, the Persian Gulf conflict, and the Cold War&#149; the disappointment of the 1992 presidential campaign -- and the mixed blessing of regaining her private life...and much more. Filled with entertaining anecdotes, dozens of personal photographs, and a healthy dose of humor, this memoir is as compelling and honest as the former First Lady herself."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
