Barbara Bush: A Memoir

Barbara Bush: A Memoir

The classic #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, celebrating the life and legacy of First Lady Barbara Bushâ€”now updated with new forewords from her five children, including reflections from George W. and Jeb, as featured on A&Eâ€™s Biography.

Barbara Bush endures as one of Americaâ€™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 fascinating 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 her early years with George Bush in West Texas and the tragic death of their young daughter, Pauline. She also discusses the world of Washington politics and the famous figures sheâ€™s met, as well as the disappointment of the 1992 presidential campaignâ€”and the mixed blessing of regaining her private life, including her role as the nationâ€™s leading literacy champion.

Filled with entertaining anecdotes, thirty-two pages of personal photographs, and a healthy dose of introspection, this memoir is â€œa book of good grace and humorâ€”written in a style that, like the author herself, is straightforward, unembellished, generous, good-hearted, and wiseâ€¦A pleasureâ€ (The Washington Times).
