Laura Bush: America's First Lady

by Beatrice Gormley

Laura Bush has loved education and reading since she was a young child, and today she brings her experienced viewpoints, her love of children, and her interest in education to a much broader audience as the wife of the forty-third president of the United States, George W. Bush. In her speeches and public appearances, she expresses what many Americans believe: that every human being should be treated whith dignity, and that no child should be left behind in shcool, or in life.
This biography of one of our most fascinating public figures touches on all aspects of Mrs. Bush's life, from her years as a teacher and librarian, to her first meeting with her husband, to the birth of their twins, to her important work as an advocate for women and children.

Reviews

[Lourdes Cambridge · Rating 3 out of 5]

Having DAR Family and top ranking Military Generals in our family...plus a Senator...I thought I would get more R.E.S.P.E.C.T. from the Arts and the Government. I was preparing for MIRACLES...and Laura Bush became so afraid of that in the Washington Literary Sponsor role, during times of Homeland Security Alert, that she actually made a judgement call and sent everyone on "The Drive Home with NPR" prematurely...to TICKET TO WORK in Real Estate.
