Spoken from the Heart
Laura Bush has once again proven her elegance and eloquence in her masterpiece of a memoir: Spoken from the Heart. the book lighted upon book shelves everywhere May 4th and I had the honor of purchasing this spectacular book on that very day and then reading it during my twenty- hour dive to Orlando, Florida. The 432 page tome covers the family history, early life, and career of Laura Bush while also allowing the reader and unprecedented glimpse into the life of one of our most private and anti-political first ladies, who has for so long captivated the collective conscience of the American nation.
It's A Shocker
Is it just me, or is everybody in politics writing a memoir these days? Maybe it's just the eight year span between presidents that has allowed America to forget just how much literature is produced within the first few years after a president leaves office. George H.W. Bush wrote a more specified account of a few hand chosen events during his life and presidency. After "Billary" left office Bill Clinton's My Life and Hillary's Living History: Hillary Clinton (such a self serving title if I do say so myself) , soon became bestsellers and sold more than a million copies each. Now after the second Bush Administration has left office we are again being hit by a tidal wave of pages and ink, with the newest edition to the list being the Former First Lady Laura Bush's memoir entitled Speaking from the Heart.
