A warm, intimate portrait of former First Lady Nancy Reagan, by the bestselling author who was her husband's friend and confident for over 30 years, with a foreword by Mike Wallace
As in his other accounts of the Reagans that I've sampled, Deaver manages to inform and entertain the reader concerning public figures of whom we thought we knew all--for good or bad--and humanizes them for us. That his past and present candor has apparently not cost him the friendships which have enabled him to tell all is perhaps testimony to the strength of their friendship(s) and of his disarming nature.
Frank, I was trying to come up with some way to express my pleasure in reading this book and couldn't think how to put it in to words. Then I read your review and you had done it for me! Thank you for puttin git so succintly. I had never thought to read a book about Nancy Reagan but I am going to have to reserve this one at the library.
My political leanings are on the other side of the Reagans but I am enjoying this book. The fact that Nancy was sent by her mother to live with someone else is like my mothers story. Her mother died giving birth to her and then her father gave all three of the girls away to different people and went on with his life. My mom was brought up by an aunt. Of course she was not famous like Nancy,but she carried on with her life to be a good citizen.
