I was very interested in reading Laura Bush's memoir when I first heard about it. I've always thought her to be a sweet, caring, considerate and kind woman and that impression certainly hasn't changed.

I enjoyed the book except for the fact it was a bit too overdone about her childhood growing up in Texas but other than that it was truly a great read.

I was very disappointed in the "older" Barbara Bush who essentially ignored Laura for the first 10 years of her marriage to George and managed to "insult" every single one of Laura's friends with her acerbic tongue. A real tsk, tsk for a supposed First Lady.

All in all, the book was wonderful and Laura Bush continues, in my mind, to be a lovely woman who deserves all the good things that life can bring her. She loves her daughters and her husband, unconditionally.
