Description

In this courageous, beautiful, and deeply personal memoir, Laura Bush, among our most precious and exclusive first girls, tells her very own remarkable story. Born within the boom-and-bust oil city of Midland, Texas, Laura Welch was raised being an only child in a household that lost three children to miscarriage or infant death. She strongly evokes Midlandis bold, the ties of early relationships that maintain her even today, and tough tradition, her close relationship with her dad. For the first period, in heart-wrenching detail, she writes about the disastrous senior school car crash that left her buddy Mike Douglas lifeless and about her years of silent grief.When Laura Welch first left West Texas in 1964, she never thought that her trip might direct her to the planet level and the White House. After graduating from Southern Methodist University in 1968, while in the thick of student rebellions in the united states and in the beginning of the ladies's movement, she became an elementary-school teacher, employed in inner city schools, subsequently qualified to be always a librarian.
