George And Laura Portrait Of An American Marriage

The Story

They would be called upon to lead a nation in one of its darkest hours -- but were they up to the task? He had been the wild, hard-drinking scion of one of America's premier political families. She was the school librarian with a warm smile and a tragic secret of her own. Yet after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, they rose to the challenge: He became the embodiment of America's fighting spirit and she assumed the role of 'First Comforter' with effortless grace. Still, the true nature of their relationship has remained a mystery. Until now. In the style of his #1 'New York Times bestsellers 'The Day Diana Died and 'The Day John Died, as well as his bestselling books about another President and First Lady, 'Jack and Jackie and 'Jackie After Jack, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources -- many speaking here for the first time -- to paint a vivid, sometimes startling, often inspiring portrait of America's First Couple. -- goodreads.com
