Reagan’s grandmother had been a short, wide woman who dyed her hair red and always wore pink lipstick. She was active in her church, active in the community. The type of person who went to all of her grandkids’ recitals and school plays, even after she had twenty of them.

Reagan’s senior picture was sitting on a coffee table in the living room, and if you opened it up, her whole childhood would spring out.
